Dudgeon plays Harry
Harry faces up to some big
choices and several betrayals – his own and others – in Sorted.
His world starts changing when
he saves the life of a woman who lives on his postal round. The next day
he visits her in hospital, she invites him for a drink to say thank you
and it quickly becomes clear that there is an unmistakeable connection
between the two.
"At the start of the series
Harry is working on the post after his best mate Charlie got him a job
when he lost his own printing business. He's basically of a certain age,
looking at his life and thinking it's okay, but it's just a bit sort of
humdrum," explains Neil.
"He's been married to Kathy
for 20 years and he's thinking 'is this it, is this all there is for the
rest of my life?' Then he meets Roisin and he's very attracted to her.
He is just dipping a little toe into a world of possibility and there's
a frisson there that he hasn't found in many years."
"It's a bit of a reminder
to him of how things used to be in his life and he starts thinking about
where all those feelings went. Then Kathy is involved in a very serious
car crash and he finds out that she's been hiding some pretty big
secrets from him and it makes him question everything that he hadn't
previously questioned.
"He starts to think maybe
he's just been punting along the bottom thinking everything is okay when
really it isn't.
"All of a sudden, the
loyalty he felt to Kathy isn't there any more and he's faced with a
decision - 'Am I talking about leaving the wife and kids to go off with
this woman?' And of course, this is all complicated by the fact that
Kathy is in a coma."
