This seven-part 1991 British drama followed the story of a showdown between a city councilman of unspecified northern British town and the headmaster of a school for troubled children. The name of the show was derived by the initials for the criminal charge of grevious bodily harm, which usually means a vicious assault. It's a refection of the violence of the show, which both won awards and was criticized for its violence during its original run. The councilman and headmaster square off in a very public confrontation that includes fires, frantic crowds and some jarring scenes of violence.
