There are some jobs that feel as though they are built for the romantic, for the notion of what being alone with your thoughts can do, and the impact it will have on your soul; time apart from the rest of humanity, time spent with just yourself in command and with nothing to worry about except perhaps the demons waiting in the dark.

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.

Gone it seems, are the days of Pinkie Brown and the black and white days of the south coast’s criminal underbelly in Brighton Rock. Now the terrifying prospect of Eastern European gang culture rears in head in the seedy dangerous world of The Fear and it’s a far more dangerous world than teen hoodlum Pinkie could have ever have imagined.
