Hard Times (1994)
BBC One · Drama · 1 season · 25 min
This extraordinary production captures the soot and smoke that blot out the sun in dank, industry-choked Coketown. Local MP and schoolmaster Thomas Gradgrind raises his children, Louisa and Tom, in the utilitarian fashion, stressing reason and fact and dismissing imagination and emotion.
