Rooms

Series 1

This daytime series, set in a large house converted into bedsits, had two phases: one of self-contained small dramas, each concerning the lives of a few residents and their friends, family or colleagues; and a later one - with different characters - made up of a continual string of episodes, soap-opera style, depicting the residents as a whole.
