"What's so bad about the Queen biopic?" you might ask, besides it being a) a biopic, and b) about Queen. It was largely directed by Bryan Singer, who's long faced accusations of serious sexual abuse (Singer has countered the allegations as "fictional and irresponsible"). He was dumped from the project with two weeks left to shoot and replaced by Dexter Fletcher, better known to a generation as Spike from Press Gang, but Singer's name remains on the packet.

Well, I never expected to ever encounter a phrase along the lines of "better known ... as .... from Press Gang"
 
This scene from Press Gang perfectly encapsulates why I consider it to be my number one show. The way they dealt with a serious subject like child abuse in such a mature and sensitive manner was quite outstanding.
