G.B.H.

GBH was a British television drama that was broadcast on Channel 4 during the summer of 1991. It was created by Alan Bleasdale and consisted of seven parts. Michael Murray, the Labour leader of a city council in the North of England who supported the Militant tendency, and Jim Nelson, the headmaster of a school for troubled children, played the roles of the two main protagonists in this story. The series was controversial in part due to the fact that the character Murray appeared to be based on Derek Hatton, who had previously served as the Deputy Leader of Liverpool City Council. In an interview included on the G.B.H. DVD, Bleasdale recounts an accidental meeting with Hatton prior to the series, in which Hatton indicates that he is aware of Bleasdale's intentions but is okay with them as long as the actor playing him is "handsome." Hatton indicated that Ble The initials "GBH" are commonly used to relate to the crime of causing grievous bodily harm; nevertheless, the true meaning behind these letters is that they are supposed to represent for "Great British Holiday."
