Very interesting, 3 May 2001
Author: Yasmin Slater from London

This was a rather unusually brilliant drama, Angela Harper used selfishness to give her family a better life.

Keeley Hawes is an amazing actress and played her double life with perfection.

The highlight was seeing actress current Eastenders star, Kacey Ainsworth in a totally different part to what she is famous for playing now.

On Eastenders she plays quiet, shy Little Mo Slater, yet she was a very gobby hooker who befriended Angela in the council estate they were both forced to live.
