In Gone to the Dogs Alison Steadman, Warren Clarke, Jim Broadbent, Sheila Hancock, Martin Clunes and in his TV drama debut Harry Enfield star in this six-part comedy drama set in the lucrative world of greyhound racing.Self-made millionaire Larry Patterson is powerful and charismatic, with the best dogs in the greyhound racing world. Jim Morley is one of life's losers, always 'just one business away' from making his fortune; his only link to the world of greyhound racing is a three-legged dog called Highland Fling. On the financial scale, they're as far removed as... it's possible to be. But they have one thing in common: they both love the same woman... Gone to Seed re-unites the principal cast in entirely new roles: Alison Steadman, Jim Broadbent and Warren Clarke are Hilda, Monty and Winston Plant triplets who are anything but identical with Sheila Hancock as domineering matriarch Mag; comedy legend Peter Cook stars as Mag's old flame, conman Welsey Willis. An-thony Newley, Ron Davies and Stephen Marcus guest-star. The Plant family has run a garden centre in Rotherhithe since Dickens' time, surviving both war and redevel-opment. But now, family rivalry threatens to poison their unlikely paradise. The frumpy Hilda has only one pas-sion in life: Milwall FC. Country and Western singer Monty dreams of turning the run-down nursery into a floral oasis in the heart of Docklands and jobless builder and part-time wrestler Winston doesn't know a begonia from a buttercup!

The complete series of the early 1990s comedies featuring the same principal cast members playing different roles. 'Gone to the Dogs' revolves around the world of greyhound racing, where millionaire Larry Patterson (Jim Broadbent) uses his wealth and status to take ownership of all the champion dogs. His fortunes contrast sharply with Jim Morley (Warren Clarke), a down on his luck punter with a three-legged greyhound. Larry's wife, Lauren (Alison Steadman), and Jim's son, Little Jim (Harry Enfield), find themselves caught up in the unequal power struggle between the two men. 'Gone to Seed' follows the fortunes of the Plant family, who run a garden centre in Rotherhithe. The garden centre has been in the family for generations but its future appears uncertain given that the heirs to the enterprise, triplets Hilda (Steadman), Monty (Broadbent) and Winston (Clarke), are in a status of near-perpetual war and have no interest in gardening.
