}}Reg is a one-off BBC Television fact-based drama about the campaign by Reg Keys to obtain answers after the death of his son Tom in the Iraq War, by standing in the 2005 General Election as an anti-war independent candidate for MP of Sedgefield, a constituency held by the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair.[1]

Production

Keys was portrayed by Academy Award-nominated actor Tim Roth and the programme was scripted by Jimmy McGovern.[1][2] Talking on BBC radio programme Front Row in June 2016 about creating the drama, McGovern said: "I first thought about it over 8 years ago and I went down to see Reg and I tried to start it, but for some reason I just couldn't seem to start it. But it was always at the back of my mind: 'I know I've got to tell this man's story'".[3] Of his main protagonist, McGovern has said "It was an honour to meet Reg Keys. He is a truly remarkable man, and it has been a privilege to tell this part of his story."[2]

Cast

The cast of Reg included:[4]

  • Tim Roth as Reg Keys
  • Anna Maxwell Martin as Sally Keys
  • Elliott Tittensor as Richard Keys
  • Ralph Brown as Bob Clay
  • Zac Fox as Tom Keys
  • Charlie Anson as Major Bryn Parry Jones
  • David Westhead as Tony Blair's minder
  • David Yelland as Martin Bell
  • Timothy Bentinck as Frederick Forsyth
  • Kevin Doyle as Returning Officer

Awards and nominations

[6] stoicism was the cause of much understated acting – Roth was doggedly undemonstrative, Maxwell Martin temperate and reserved."[7]

Writing in The Guardian, Lucy Mangan began by saying "I don't know where Jimmy McGovern gets the emotional energy or resilience from, I really don't" before judging that "There wasn't a weak moment in the film". Mangan found Anna Maxwell Martin "as quietly stellar as always" and that "Roth was extraordinary as a man scoured out by grief and left with only a single purpose to pursue. Implacable, purged of all need or desire for lesser considerations or emotions by his loss, he gave us a man and a performance boiled down to its very essence. There is nothing more honestly, nakedly powerful or moving. Thank you."[8]
