Hands

Hands was released on 19 grudnia 1986.

Hands was directed by Mark Scrimshaw.

Hands has a runtime of 30 min.

Hands was dramatised from one of Sid Chaplin’s early short stories and broadcast in the BBC North East Region as a tribute to Chaplin, who died in January 1986. It features Tim Healy and Robson Green as father and son in a video drama which uses a mixture of studio recording, with stylised sets created by the use of colour separation overlay, location filming, photographs and songs (by Alex Glasgow), dramatising the life of a family in a mining community. Chaplin had worked as a miner and as such much of his writing was about the mining community he grew up in.

The key characters in Hands are Father (Tim Healy), Son (Robson Green), Wife (Andrina Carroll).
