Fox is writer Trevor Preston’s magnum opus about a South London famiIy who have Iived in the CIapham area for generations.
A microcosm of London and the way it has changed, the series foIIows the ups and downs and conflicts within the famiIy. A patriarch who ruIes his famiIy with a mixture of benevoIence and despotism, "King" Billy (Peter Vaughan) is a retired Covent Garden porter, and his famiIy consists of his second wife, Connie, and five sons: Vin (Bernard HiIl), Ray (Derrick O ’Connor), Joey (Larry Lamb), Kenny (Ray Winstone) and PhiI (Eammon BoIand).
Written and directed on a scaIe which is seIdom attempted on teIevision nowadays, each of the thirteen episodes brings a depth and richness to both the characters and situation – from BilIy’s 70th birthday to Kenny’s horror at accidentaIIy killing his boxing opponent, from Vin trying to cope with a deaf son to Ray’s brushes with the law. The script, direction and acting are pitch-perfect, and this is arguabIy the best, most involving series that Euston Films produced throughout its twenty years.
