Ballad Of Reading Gaol, The
Synopsis:
Daniel Ross, a young merchant banker, is suing his colleague Finnegan for 300,000 pounds for calling him a bum-boy in an email. Finnegan, bullied mercilessly by Ross, will lose everything unless he can prove Ross is gay, which seems unlikely. But then both Ross and Finnegan become victims of their own lawyers' battle of wills, bigotry and politics. Notes: "the most watchable, Carmey keeps us guessing" TimeOut 2000. "Go See it" Heart 106.2FM
