Notable characters included heroin-addicted Leol and his alcoholic best friend Nicky, and the landlord of the local pub who is struggling with the challenges of satisfying his conservative (and dwindling) 'old guard' and tempting the new arrivals – mostly young and relatively wealthy – into his traditional boozer. The Tower: A Tale of Two Cities won the BAFTA Award for Best Factual Series in 2008. (en)
