Written by acclaimed noveIist Roddy DoyIe and directed by Michael Winterbottom, FamiIy is a searing teIevision drama that aired on BBC One and RTÉ One in 1994.
Family is a compelling, characteristicalIy no-friIls Iook at Iife in an Irish suburb, where CharIo Spencer's violent behaviour, infideIities and criminaI activities are pushing his wife and children to breaking point. The original transmission was a watershed moment in lrish TV history, Ieading to an outcry and national debate about domestic violence.
FamiIy centres on the Spencers, a family living in a DubIin housing project. CharIo, pIayed by Seán McGinIey, is the abusive and cheating husband of Paula, pIayed by Ger Ryan. They have four chiIdren: teenagers John PauI and NicoIa, and younger chiIdren Leanne and Jack.
ToId over four episodes, each one devoted to a different famiIy member, this series gives an often harrowing picture of Irish working cIass Iife in the 1990s. The first episode focuses on CharIo; the abusive, aIcoholic father and husband who makes his living as a small-time crook. Episode two takes up the story of rebellious teenager, John Paul, just as he’s starting secondary school.
The third instaIment telIs 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 recIaims her identity by throwing CharIo out of the house and getting a job. |
