Broadcast in 1994, and starring Ken Stott and David Tennant. Stott stars as Eddie McKenna, a double-glazing salesman who moonlights as a DJ for hospital radio in a Scottish mental asylum. He nurtures close friendships with the patients there including Francine (Katy Murphy) a self-harmer and Campbell (David Tennant) a manic depressive, with whom he shares a dream to make it into commercial radio.
Campbell’s inspired antics promise to bring the pair closer to their aim, but the pressures of life outside of the hospital begins to way heavy on Eddie. As Campbell regains control over his own life and gains success, Eddie’s goes into decline and he is finally forced to face his own illness – alcoholism.
