Acorn Media announce Jimmy McGovern’s the Accused Series 2 is Available for Pre Order on DVD

LONDON - May 30, 2013 - PRLog -- The Accused Series 2 DVD is now available for pre-order from the Acorn Media online store. Order a copy of the gritty crime drama today.

In the docks of Jimmy McGovern’s BAFTA Award winning second series of Accused, stands a sensational ensemble of British Acting talent. They are the innocent, the guilty and the somewhere in between.

Leading the all star cast is Olivia Coleman who won best supporting actress at the BAFTA’s for her performance in series 2 of the Accused. Elsewhere in the line up is Sean Bean who plays against type as a transvestite accused of murder and superstar comedian John Bishop who enters serious acting as the father of a desperate young man.

The Accused are modern-day morality plays that are fraught with emotion as they delve in to the tangled issues of gender stereotypes, a mother’s unconditional love, familial grief and paranoia, as well as challenging the justice system itself. With cases of gang violence, murder, sexual assault and crimes of passion, are these everyday defendants the guilty or the victims?

The creator of the Accused is Jimmy McGovern, one of British TV’s leading writers with series such as Cracker and The Street to his credit. In the Accused Jimmy McGovern has created an unusual plot device to focus all the drama onto the Accused, he tells the BBC:

"In the time it takes to climb the steps to the court we tell the story of how the accused came to be here. We see the crime and we see the punishment. Nothing else. No police procedure, thanks very much, no coppers striding along corridors with coats flapping. Just crime and punishment, the two things that matter most in any crime drama.”

The Accused will be popular with fans of TV Drama and Crime Thrillers and may even draw the attention of Whodunit fans as the writers keep the audience guessing right until the end of each episode as to if the Accused is guilty or innocent.

Pre Order your copy today and receive it when it is released on August 5th from Acorn Media.
