Seeing Red (ITV Drama, Sarah Lancashire, Richard Dillane)

Published

on


Period drama Seeing Red told the true story of how actress Coral Atkins (Sarah Lancashire), at the height of her popularity in the seventies (a starring role in TV show A Family At War) gave it all up to start her own children’s home.

The home was called Crossways and Atkins spent all her money on the pioneering home which opened in 1972. Coral ran the home until the late 1980’s but later she moved back to London and became a psychotherapist. Crossways remained a children’s home but on a smaller scale.

Seeing Red was based on the book Coral had written about her time at Crossways.
