Donovan Quick (BBC-1 2000, Colin Firth, Katy Murphy)
Drama Donovan Quick saw the somewhat mysterious Donovan take a room in a guesthouse in a none too salubrious, part of Glasgow and having an effect on the Pannick family who run the place. The title (as does the production) carries echoes of Cervantes Don Quixote.
