VHS : Warriors [1999]
One of the most outstanding BBC single dramas. Perhaps it shares the blame a little too evenly, but you cannot have everything.

Why is it that the BBC's outstanding dramas are never published in the UK. I think also of "Foreign Field" (USA only). The BBC seems to make a habit of only publishing its rubbish lately and ignoring its gems.

This one tells the story of Astrid, played by Alison Lohman, a girl in thrall to her smart, beautiful and manipulative mother. When mom is sent off to jail for murdering her boyfriend, Astrid finds herself carted through a string of care homes and foster families.

Lohman is excellent in this one, always convincing as she goes on her strange journey from Pfeiffer to religious nut Star (Robin Wright Penn) to fragile and needy Claire (Rene Zellweger). It's a great part for a young actress to play (she's in almost every scene), and she does it very well despite being surrounded by an intimidating group of more experienced actresses playing her various mother figures.
