Hancock & Joan Starring... Ken Stott Maxine Peake	Hancock & Joan Drama which tells the story of comedian Tony Hancock's love affair with his friend's wife, and her fight to save the man and his career. Only months into her marriage to John Le Mesurier, Joan fell in love with Tony, who, despite his struggles with drink, remained charismatic and funny. They embarked on a passionate affair, but Tony's demons were never far away, and after months of turmoil Joan gave him an ultimatum: If he made a go of a new series in Australia and stayed sober, she would leave John. This was made as one of a four-part season The Curse of Comedy". The other three films in the series were The Curse of Steptoe, Hughie Green: Most Sincerely and Frankie Howerd: Rather You Than Me.	2008	85	?
Promoted To Glory Starring... Ken Stott Kevin Whatley Adrian Scarborough Sally Hawkins Joe Renton	Promoted To Glory This film is not only touching, funny, heart-wrenching and uplifting but its surprise ending will leave you reeling. The wonderful cast includes the understated Kevin Whately as the well-meaning but totally dull Hurst, the unglamorous but very attractive Lesley Manville as the reawakened Annie, and the masterful Ken Stott as the irascible, irreverent Mike. Mike is the antithesis of the Hollywood hunk but his charisma and sense of humor is such that he is utterly lovable and irresistible (especially to Annie).	2003	95

Though each death is horribly different, the killer leaves an unmistakeable signature...he cuts out the victims tongue and replaces it with a silver spoon. Enter Detective Chief Inspector Red Metcalfe (Ken Stott). Red is tormented by guilt for turning in his own brother for murder, years earlier...but is that why he has a fear of driving in the rain, or does a far darker secret haunt him?
