has abstract	Prospects is a British television comedy-drama series written by Alan Janes and originally released on Channel 4 in 1986. Created by Euston Films, who had a pedigree of producing successful, gritty dramas such as The Sweeney and Minder, it followed the exploits of two East End 'geezer' characters, Jimmy 'Pincy' Pince and Billy 'Bill' Pearson, played by Gary Olsen and Brian Bovell, respectively, and depicts their trials and tribulations of making a living in London's Isle of Dogs. Comprising 12 episodes, Prospects was delivered with a comic slant and dealt with many of the major issues affecting British society at the height of the "Thatcherite" '80s including unemployment, crime, poverty, regeneration, social change, and racism. The shows featured many actors, such as well-known actors like Ken Jones who played 'Horrible Ives' in Porridge, and some unknown actors who went on to find fame elsewhere. These include Billy Hartman 'Terry Woods' in Emmerdale. Prospects gained a cult following and rating-wise it performed well above expectations for Channel 4. At that time Channel 4 received a large subsidy from the rival commercial network ITV in exchange for the right to sell airtime; this gave ITV significant input into the management of the station. The success of Prospects and the fact that it was produced by a subsidiary of the ITV network's largest station Thames Television meant it was moved to a 9 pm prime-time repeat slot on ITV in the Spring/Summer of 1987. This fuelled rumours that the network wanted to develop Prospects into a long-running comedy-drama series. However, ITV declined the opportunity to develop it beyond the original first 12-episode series. (en)
