The series was trailed in ''Radio Times'' with an article titled ''Our Friends in the South'', an echo of Peter Flannery's 1996 television series ''Our Friends in the North''.

"The mix of the personal and the political is framed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
