Synopsis
Celebrated writer Kay Mellor's first major TV success, BAND OF GOLD from 1995, concerns a group of prostitutes who take a desperate single mum under their wing, allow her to work their patch of "The Lane" in order to escape her abusive husband and pay off loan sharks. They form a real protective bond and advise her on how to avoid trouble with clients and the police. Ruth Gemmell is the new recruit in this strong, gritty drama with Cathy Tyson (MONA LISA), Geraldine James (JEWEL IN THE CROWN), singer Barbara Dickson and the 17 year old Samantha Morton (MINORITY REPORT, SWEET & LOWDOWN) as a teenage runaway battling drugs and her pimp. Contains the first, dramatic series.
