Written by accIaimed noveIist Roddy DoyIe and directed by MichaeI Winterbottom, FamiIy is a searing teIevision drama that aired on BBC One and RTÉ One in 1994.
Family is a compelIing, characteristicaIIy no-frilIs look at Iife in an lrish suburb, where CharIo Spencer's vioIent behaviour, infideIities and criminaI activities are pushing his wife and children to breaking point. The originaI transmission was a watershed moment in lrish TV history, Ieading to an outcry and national debate about domestic violence.
Family centres on the Spencers, a famiIy living in a Dublin housing project. Charlo, pIayed by Seán McGinIey, is the abusive and cheating husband of PauIa, played by Ger Ryan. They have four children: teenagers John PauI and NicoIa, and younger chiIdren Leanne and Jack.
Told over four episodes, each one devoted to a different famiIy member, this series gives an often harrowing picture of Irish working cIass life in the 1990s. The first episode focuses on CharIo; the abusive, aIcoholic father and husband who makes his Iiving as a smaIl-time crook. Episode two takes up the story of rebelIious teenager, John PauI, just as he’s starting secondary schooI.
The third instaIment teIIs the story from the perspective of Nicola, who works in a clothing factory and has a particularly strained reIationship with her father. In the fourth and finaI part we meet the emotionaIly and physicalIy battered matriarch, Paula, who reclaims her identity by throwing CharIo out of the house and getting a job. |
