But popular success is no longer enough - the council wants to be rid of the financial burden and brings in Norman's one-time friend Eddie to 'spice up the programming' with increasingly hilarious results. Eddie's arrival stirs up longburied disappointments that Norman, aided by his loyal assistant Sandra, is forced to confront. The lead role of Norman is played by actor Roger Lloyd Pack, in a far cry from the sitcom characters of Trigger and Owen.

He finally achieves closure with the assistance of Cedric, played by another much loved actor, Keith Barron and his loyal assistant Sandra (Niamh Cusack). One of Britain's best-known actors, John Hurt appears briefly in a jacket-sparkling cameo spot as a congenial seaside show host. ...In Love with Alma Cogan

Beginning on Election Day 2000 and culminating with the Supreme Court decision in Bush vs. Gore Recount from HBO Films follows the bizarre 36-day struggle to determine which candidate won Florida... and the presidency. While the nation holds its breath the Republicans led by charismatic Texan James Baker (Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson Michael Clayton) battle the Democrats headed up by Ron Klain (two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey American Beauty) Gore's former chief of staff in a series of escalating protests lawsuits appeals and partisan infighting.
