			Menace "Menace" is the story of Everyman. About being a prisoner of the system in a crowded city. It is the story of bank assistant Mark who gets on with life - as best he can. Head down, doesn't break the rules, tries for promotion, stays married, keeps on the right side of the law… Until one small but significant incident changes everything - he loses his dog. He then has no option but to cross the line. "Menace" was first transmitted in the UK in September 2002. Synopsis Meet Mark, a middle ranking "little guy", one small cog in the wheel of a large banking corporation, where security and money are of more importance than people. His world is like every district, in every city, in every country. When Mark's dog disappears one day in the park, his son is distraught and wife Jane unsupportive. The carefully patched cracks in the foundations of his marriage begin to widen and tensions at work take their toll. The dog is located but the finder Dennis Naylor makes unreasonable demands for money and the police are too busy to listen. So Mark confronts the Naylor's himself only to find that their rules and agendas are different to his. The Naylor’s try blackmail and over this small incident Dennis is arrested but father Jed comes gunning for Mark and he’s an even more dangerous man. He oozes Menace. Declaring war. What The Papers Said "American imports such as The Sopranos and 24 have upped the ante when it comes to hard-hitting television drama, but their supremacy is being challenged by an unlikely source… A drama with a touch of LA gloss but firmly rooted in London thuggery…. From the hypnotic opening to an inevitably violent showdown, this could hold it’s own against anything America dramatists care to send over." Simon Button, Daily Express, 12 September, 2002 "Gripping and very, very scary." Rachel Roberts, The Sun "Horowitz’s skilful script maintained suspense and the sense of frustration right through to the perfectly satisfying conclusion... This was a quality drama, not only because it is faultlessly acted and directed, but also because it addressed underlying questions about goodness in a modern urban society that so often seems hostile to the people who live in it." The Saturday Telegraph, 14 September, 2002 "C5 Doesn’t often broadcast homegrown dramas, but if it’s going to do them with the same enthusiasm as it has done this one, it should do more." The Independent on Sunday, 15 September 2002 Distribution "Menace" is being sold internationally by Carlton International.
