One drama that popped fully formed onto our screens this year, yet for unfathomable BBC-type reasons is fated never to reappear, was Daniel Brocklehurst’s Sorted. Starring Dean Lennox Kelly, Hugo Speer, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Eva Pope and Neil Dudgeon, Sorted was the everyday story of life in a Manchester postal sorting office and the friendships and fall-outs that went on there.
The posties were presented as a strange bunch of misfits and troubled souls, each of whom had a story to tell, and some of whom actually got to tell them. Amidst all the triumphs and tragedies of these stories perhaps the greatest tragedy is that the remaining characters’ stories will remain untold.
Six short glimpses into lives that undoubtedly had more dramatic potential to be squeezed onto our screens and which was, for me, one of the TV highlights of the year.
