Cucumber/Banana (DVD)

Collection of two eight-part drama series written by Russell T. Davies about modern gay life in Manchester. 'Cucumber' follows middle-aged couple Henry (Vincent Franklin) and Lance (Cyril Nri) whose relationship falls apart after a disastrous night out. Shortly after their separation, Lance starts seeing Daniel (James Murray) and 46-year-old Henry moves in with young couple Freddie (Freddie Fox) and Dean (Fisayo Akinade). With help and advice provided by his sister Cleo (Julie Hesmondhalgh), Henry struggles to get his life back in order, a task not helped by the presence of old friend Cliff (Con O'Neill). The spin off 'Banana' tells the interlinked stories of various different characters including: 19-year-old post boy Dean who pursues a longtime crush that has recently arrived in town; Vivienne 'Scotty' Scott (Letitia Wright) who cares for her ill mother (Jacqueline Boatswain) and begins stalking a housewife (Rosie Cavaliero) she meets in the supermarket; young couple Sian (Georgia Henshaw) and Violet (Hannah John-Kamen); transgender Helen (Bethany Black) who's ex Eddie (Andrew Knott) won't accept she's moved on; struggling dater Amy (Charlie Covell) and law student Josh (Luke Newberry) who is madly in love with Dean's flatmate Freddie.
