Synopsis:

An early creation of multi-award-winning writer and producer Russell T. Davies (Doctor Who, Queer as Folk), this innovative late-night soap opera traces the secrets, scandals and conflicts of the wealthy family of a Church of England bishop. Exploring dramatic and controversial themes close to Davies' heart, Revelations stars Paul Shelley as the morally flawed Edward Rattigan and Judy Loe as his manipulative wife, Jessica, both of whom have to deal with their troubled son Gabriel, a methadone addict whose homosexuality is a closely guarded secret, and promiscuous daughter Charlie. Lucy Robinson plays Rachel - who enters the turbulent, secretive and often collusive family via marriage to Gabriel, and rapidly finds herself out of her depth in a world in which nothing is ever quite as it appears...

Jessica Rattigan, wife of a bishop, will stop at nothing to preserve the family name, and over two series of 'Revelations' she conceals her husband's involvement in the death of his secretary, murders her daughter-in-law Rachel and buries her in the garden, has an affair with Rachel's brother Steve, then abandons him to be blown up in a petrol explosion when he discovers that she murdered his sister. Other characters include creepy housekeeper Mary, Jessica's cousin; Gabriel, Jessica's gay son; Mark, her randy son-in-law; and Charlotte, her promiscuous daughter. The second series is by far the best, every episode well-paced and tense. 'Revelations' deserved a wider audience, was compulsive viewing, and bettered many a soap shown at peak viewing time. Unfortunately, it was usually shown at times revolving around midnight.
