Keeping Faith is a hard ask of modern audiences, the temptation to wander away from the serial that once had you gripped is an understandable response to the way we live today, the instant and continuous gratification, the need for visual stimulation is so overwhelming that we do not understand why such a television programme cannot keep up with the initial demand, why it cannot behave like a soap opera.

History is made by breaking rules, by defying Government and putting your love for someone above the expected doctrines of faceless mandarins and cowards who will not stand up to racism and prejudice, to intolerance, lies and hate. Love and honour is the catalyst that topples Government and empire and perhaps none more so in recent times than the love between Seretse Khama, the King in waiting of his homeland in Africa and Ruth Williams, the daughter of a former World War Two soldier and somebody who has been tainted by thought of what is supposedly right and proper when it comes to marriages of mixed heritage.

Richard Cotton’s acclaimed television drama, The Fear, reached its final destructive conclusion whilst retaining the excellent writing from beginning to end and not entertaining the idea of slipping into the realms of outlandish fantasy. It is for this that the writer and cast must be applauded fully for giving a distinctive and sensitive portrayal of Alzheimer’s Disease and yet also giving a huge shot in the arm to a hopeful resurgence in the British Noir art form.

The tension that had been building in the framework of The Fear reaches almost fever pitch proportions as the escalating war between the Kosovan’s and Richie’s family starts to mirror the war going on inside his head.
