TV Review: The Way is worth a watch once slow start gives way to anarchy

"This story about a strike at the steel-works in his native Port Talbot in Wales held a lot of promise. "

Steffan Rhodi plays Geoff, a shop-steward in the giant local steel-works.

The Way (BBC One and BBC iPlayer) is sluggish at the start. The three-part drama is co-created by Adam Curtis, who makes these brilliant immersive long-form documentaries about things like the downfall of communism. 

It’s directed by actor Michael Sheen who brings power and personality to everything he touches.
