Alan Davies and Jo Brand star in Damned (Britbox series, 2016 - 2018), which focuses on the efforts of overworked social workers at a Children’s Services agency somewhere in Britain. While billed as a comedy due to the many humorous predicaments these workers find themselves in, the episodes are probably quite near reality. I found myself getting deeply involved in the lives of the social workers and their unfortunate clients. It seems all of their lives were pretty desperate, but they survived aided by genuine caring and genuine humour.
