The Crow Road (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crow Road was a television miniseries by BBC Scotland in 1996, based faithfully on the complex novel by Scottish novelist Iain Banks. It was directed by Gavin Millar.

The cast includes Joseph McFadden as Prentice McHoan, Bill Paterson as his father, Dougray Scott as his older brother (another, younger brother in the novel has been written out here) and Peter Capaldi as the disappeared uncle who, via a narrative device employed in the adaptation, visits the thoughtful Prentice when he is alone. The production was nominated as Best Drama Serial at the 1997 British Academy Television Awards. Following the success of this TV serial, the same team went on to adapt Banks' Complicity as a feature film.
