  • The Town is a three-part British television drama series, created by playwright Mike Bartlett, that was first broadcast on ITV on 5 December 2012. The series, which stars Andrew Scott as Mark Nicholas, a young man who returns to his hometown of Renton following the death of both of his parents, was Bartlett's first project for television. The series also stars Martin Clunes as Len Robson, the mayor of Renton; Julia McKenzie as Mark's estranged grandmother, Betty; Avigail Tlalim as Jodie, Mark's rebellious 15-year-old sister; and Charlotte Riley as Alice, Mark's first love. Filming locations for the series included the high street of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire; Hughenden Park; The Rye; and High Wycombe railway station. The mayor's office was also located in a Chapel Lane building in High Wycombe. Scott said of his role in the series; "I was anxious to find a project where I could show a little more light and shade. I wouldn't describe my character [Mark] as an everyman; but he's certainly somebody people will recognise. Mark ticked those boxes post-Sherlock as a character, and The Town was a really exciting project for me." The series was released on DVD in Australia, New Zealand and Spain in 2013; but remains unreleased on DVD in the UK. (en)

  • School-girl Jodie Nicholas is horrified to discover her parents have killed themselves in a suicide pact. This brings Mark, her 30-year old brother, back from London to Renton, where he grew up, to find incompetent trainee undertaker Daniel drop his mother's corpse. He moves into the family home with Jodie and his grandmother Betty, and is persuaded by friends to go to the pub. But feeling alien from them, and having got very drunk, Mark calls on old flame Alice, only to be seen off by her husband Karl. Jodie meanwhile befriends scholarship pupil Harry, and they take a midnight swim together. Len, the town's alcoholic mayor, makes the headlines after starting a fight in a pub to the dismay of Shireen, his deputy, but he does save the day with a superb oration at the funerals. Mark is intrigued to find the words "I Know" on scraps of paper in his parents' room and on their mobile phones. (en)
  • Harry asks Jodie to a party where she gets drunk and tries to seduce him, but when he rejects her, she goes off to have sex with the older Ashley. Alice is clearly not as happy as she makes out and ends up having sex with Mark in a hotel room – the same hotel where Betty and sacked undertaker Daniel are working as cleaners. Mark is convinced that his parents' death was not suicide and stays in the town, taking work at the council offices where his mother Kate was employed. Shireen finds a photograph album in Kate's belongings with pictures of her embracing Chris Franks, the police officer who investigated the Nicholas' deaths and, against Len's advice, shows it to Mark. Betty tells Mark that Kate and Chris has a lengthy affair, which made her happy as her marriage was stale – but Mark rushes off to confront the inspector. The next day, Chris has gone missing and Mark is taken in by the police. (en)
