London Bridge (TV show)

London Bridge (TV show)

"London Bridge" was a British television drama/soap opera made by Carlton for ITV and shown in the London region. It ran from 1995-1998. It featured many actors who have gone on to star in bigger TV shows, including "Bad Girls" actresses Simone Lahbib and Mandana Jones and "No Angels " star Sunetra Sarker. "London Bridge" revolved around a restaurant, SE1, and the neighbouring block of flats. It started out as a late-night drama which ran for 26 episodes in 1995, before returning as a twice-weekly soap opera later that year. It was not as popular as other British soaps due to only being shown regionally and was axed in 1998 due to poor ratings.

Characters

Major characters included:
* Nick Kemp, the head chef and part-owner of SE1
* Isobel 'Bel' Kemp, Nick's wife, an accountant and part-owner of SE1
* Liz Kemp, Nick's sister and manager of SE1
* Jed Kemp, Liz's son
* Cliff Lewis, Nick's childhood friend and chef at SE1
* Mary O'Connor, a resident of the flats and Nick's mistress

Storylines

In its late-night format the show featured a gritty storyline involving newcomer Mary O'Connor (Simone Lahbib) being raped by a stalker. On becoming twice-weekly the soap introduced Cliff Lewis as Nick's former friend and the link to Nick's mysterious past. It was revealed that Nick and Cliff had been involved in an armed robbery together which had left a man dead. When Nick was murdered by being locked in the fridge at SE1, Cliff was the prime suspect. Cliff eventually told Nick's wife Isobel that he had seen her kill Nick and they embarked on a relationship. Isobel was eventually put on trial for Nick's murder, but was acquitted after the jury heard about the violence Nick had inflicted on her.
