Timothy Spall should win a Bafta for this.

He's certainly one of the best Brit actors out there. He should of been cast in the new Minder series as the Arthur Daley character, Shane Richie doesn't even compare. The programme had an interesting premise, but did sag in the middle, the Paul Kaye character seem to be a waste of space and superflous to the plot. By the end it got a bit far fetched and silly, but was saved by Spall's performance. He was very convincing as a father who lost his daughter in tragic circumstances, a good man who felt totally useless and needing to do something to avenge his daughter's death.

I was very moved by his rendition of Both Sides Now.

I do think Timothy Spall should recieve an award of some kind for his performance, because I thought he was brilliant, and the drama itself was great.
