Peter Manson's apparently successful life is turned upside down when his beloved teenage daughter Prue reveals she's pregnant by her teacher, Gavin Sorenson. The very heart of the family is threatened as Peter has an intuitive sense that Gavin is on a personal quest for revenge. As Peter becomes consumed by anxiety for his daughter, hatred of his son in law and lust for his secretary, his relationship with his wife, Cassie, becomes increasingly distant. With Peter's marriage at breaking point and facing financial ruin, it's only a matter of time before secrets from the past return to haunt their lives. Famously controversial, the 1970s TV adaptation of A Bouquet of Barbed Wire was watched by 26 million people. ITV's new version is written by Guy Andrews (Lost in Austen, Prime Suspect) and will star Trevor Eve, Hermione Norris and Imogen Poots.

Envy, lust, sorrow . . . From the author of A Bouquet of Barbed Wire comes an anthology of short stories overflowing with sensation - Andrea Newman leads you through a series of visceral sensations - swirling sexuality, jealousy, love and loss. The power he was using over her was the power she had given him . . . Here you will read about sensuality and desire and the most basic characteristics of life which seek to dominate the human mind. Through stories such as Poison, Casualties and Memento Vitae you will experience the shockwaves sent out by a relationship between two that morphs into a triangle, and witness its damning consequences. Newman seeks to speak our unspoken thoughts with this collection. These stories exhibit the ever-shifting dynamics of relationships as we slip from lover to lover and the impact of forbidden love.
Alexander Kyle is an elderly eccentric with a sardonic sense of humour, a retired academic who fills his days translating Chaucer's TROILUS AND CRISEYDE. He lives alone, and the visits of his niece Gemma are his only source of delight. She is everything that he is not: beautiful, spontaneous, affectionate. From childhood, she has turned to her uncle for advice, and he has enjoyed trying to lead her astray. Gemma's life is secure and outwardly happy: her husband is a successful doctor: she has two children, an au pair, and no need to work. But she is bored, and when Alexander meets David, an out-of-work actor, he decides that Gemma must meet him too. What could be more delicious than to corrupt her? AN EVIL STREAK is about power and manipulation, love and sex, the lies people tell and the illusions they cherish. It is a love story, a black comedy, and a tragedy. It has all the power and extraordinary insight into human behaviour that made Andrea Newman's BOUQUET OF BARBED WIRE such compulsive television viewing.
