GBH was a seven-part British television drama written by Alan Bleasdale shown in the summer of 1991 on Channel 4. The protagonists were Michael Murray, the Militant tendency-supporting Labour leader of a city council in the North of England and Jim Nelson, the headmaster of a school for disturbed children. The series was controversial partly because Murray appeared to be based on Derek Hatton, former Deputy Leader of Liverpool City Council — in an interview in the G.B.H. DVD Bleasdale recounts an accidental meeting with Hatton before the series, who indicates that he has caught wind of Bleasdale's intentions but does not mind as long as the actor playing him is "handsome". In normal parlance, the initials "GBH" refer to the criminal charge of grievous bodily harm - however, the actual intent of the letters is that it is supposed to stand for Great British Holiday.

A sitcom satirising small-minded Britain. Written by Brenda Gilhooly, set in the fictional town of Mansford the show merrily satirises middle England, local politics, daft bureaucracy and the deluded nature of small-time power. The councillors are always getting hot under the collar about something - new EU regulations or a pole dancing club going up next to a nursery or the latest wheelie bin disaster.
