In a review for New York magazine, John Leonard gave the series a positive review, commenting that "although Bad Girls probably wouldn’t have lasted eight seasons on ITV in Great Britain had it appealed only to lesbians, the prison drama’s strong same-sex story lines were doubtless what got the attention of Logo". He went on to say that "don’t imagine you are tuning in to The L Word behind bars. Bad Girls is much better than that—it has a rough Oz edge and some of the feminist wit of Jonathan Demme’s Caged Heat". [42] McTeer has always provided solid performances and this series, airing in 1995-96, should have been a breakout role for her. Why that never happened I'll never know. But she shows an ability here to present a character in control on the surface while unsure of herself in private that was fascinating to watch. That we have this to view now thanks to Acorn is something to be treasured. Series 1". badgirls.shed-insider.net. Archived from the original on 12 June 2018 . Retrieved 11 June 2018.

A genuine neologism was "nerk", which was used in place of the more offensive " berk". "Berk" has changed meaning since its inception and is generally used now to mean "fool" while the original rhyming slang meaning refers to female genitalia (via 'Berkeley Hunt'). Another term was "scrote" (presumably derived from scrotum), meaning a nasty, unpleasant person. The Governor was an ITV television drama series that began in 1995 and ended in 1996, with just two series being broadcast. It was devised and written by Lynda La Plante, known for her hit television series Prime Suspect, which went on hiatus in the same year. Each episode of The Governor was forty-five minutes long, with the exception of the first episode which was double-length. La Plante felt that the series had reached a natural end and decided not to write any further episodes, therefore the last episode was broadcast on 27 April 1996, and ended with a cliffhanger that was not resolved. The series starred Janet McTeer and Derek Martin as prisoner governors Helen Hewitt and Gary Marshall respectively. The second season was shot in Ireland at various locations around Dublin including Wheatfield prison. The complete first series was released on DVD on 28 March 2011. The complete second series was released on 4 June 2012. (en)Gardiner, Paul "Evolution of Wide Screen Broadcasting in the United Kingdom" (PDF). Independent Television Commission .

In 2009, Morrissey and Mark Billingham launched the production company Sleepyhead, which produced the Thorne television series. [78] The company was a part of Stagereel, a production house previously set up by Morrissey's brother Paul. The company bought the rights to adapt the Thorne novels and Morrissey was already developing it to pitch to television channels when Sky made an offer to broadcast it. [100] As of 2010, Morrissey and Tubedale Films were developing two feature films with financing from the UK Film Council. [100] Morrissey criticised the Cameron–Clegg coalition government's decision to close the UK Film Council, as he believed it was an asset to first-time filmmakers. [106] The organisation's funding role was taken over by the British Film Institute in 2011. [107] Charity work [ edit ]
