}}Public Enemies is a three-part British television drama series, written by playwright Tony Marchant, that is based upon the professional and private lives of Paula Radnor, a probation officer working within the British Probation Service, who is working with convicted murderer Eddie Mottram, who has served 10 years in prison for the murder of his 17-year-old girlfriend, and is struggling to adapt to life outside of prison.[1] First broadcast on BBC One from 4 to 6 January 2012, the series stars Anna Friel as Radnor and Daniel Mays as Mottram, and encompasses a cast including Georgina Rich, Aisling Loftus, Peter Wight, Barbara Marten, Nicholas Gleaves, Joe Armstrong and Barnaby Kay.[2] The series was directed by Dearbhla Walsh, with Will Gould acting as executive producer.[3]

The complete series was released on DVD on 30 April 2012.[4]

Critical reception

Patrick Smith of The Guardian said of the first episode, "If you needed a reminder that the season of goodwill is over, well, the opening instalment of Public Enemies was it. A hard-hitting, gloom-ridden drama about the inadequacies of the British probation service, this three-part serial – showing over consecutive nights – was created by the brilliant Tony Marchant, a British writer who’s no stranger to tackling unhappy, unsettling subjects. The first episode set the tone early on, with the murder of a young woman by a convicted murder who is out on parole.

With newspapers full of headlines such as “Freed to kill”, the parole officer responsible for him, Paula Radnor (Anna Friel), suddenly found herself showered with opprobrium and suspended from duty. Just as the episode grew more tense, so too did Eddie Mottram (Daniel Mays). Readjusting to the outside world was proving difficult, and his old friends weren’t helping matters – as one of them pointed out to him: “I haven’t seen you in 10 years, mate. It ain’t just mobile phones that have moved on.” Sometimes the story felt contrived – you just knew that Mottram would proclaim his innocence – but, ultimately, the strength of the script and the credibility of the acting carried it through.[5]

On return to work, her senior, Marion Sharmer allocates her another lifer, Eddie Mottram, who has served ten years for strangling his girlfriend Georgia when he was seventeen. He is determined to do everything right, but finds it hard to adjust to freedom, his married friends not wanting to know him and his sister Kelly being his only family support. He starts work at a garden centre and dates co-worker Jade, but keeps his past a secret from her. Given her past experience, Paula is harsh on him, but feels she is becoming an agent of control, not a helper and agrees not to report him when he accidentally runs into his victim's father whilst visiting the murder site. After rowing with the manager of the hostel where he lives, Eddie runs off and turns up at Paula's house, declaring that he is innocent of Georgia's death.LineColor=0A6600
