Saving Private Ryan - Original Pilot Episode
Original Air Date: Thursday 1st April 1999 · BBC1 & on BBC2 · Monday 26th July 1999
During a bitterly cold winter in a rundown Welsh town two homeless teenage petty criminals, Charlie and Hoffman, get more they bargain for when they break into a council house. The tenant, Richard Hepplewhite, nicknamed Fagin, is an agoraphobic, middle-aged criminal, and none too successful at that, having served time in prison. He lives with his widowed mother (Mam) and both are curiously obsessed with the Japanese, he with their domination in the field of electronics, she because her late husband was tortured by them during the Second World War. Charlie and Hoffman move in and the four live as a family, involved in a variety of schemes, some nefarious, some far-fetched (ie, Fagin runs for election on an anti-Japanese ticket), all of them curious.
Made by BBC Wales, the series of High Hopes emerged three years after a pilot episode that was networked throughout Britain. In that, Charlie and Hoffman, already known to Fagin, find a dead body and try to steal from it. The pilot was dark and earthy, the series (with a 'development executive' credit for Peter Tilbury) was played more lightly, but in both the humour among the lunatics and/or criminals was, in places, more than pleasing.
