Into the Fire is a British television thriller drama series, written by Tony Marchant, that first broadcast on BBC1 on 14 February 1996, and ran for three consecutive nights.[1] The series, directed by Jane Howell, stars Donal McCann as Frank Cody, a businessman whose struggling leather goods company is thrown a lifeline when it wins a new order from America. But when he re-mortgages his house to finance the project, events take a dramatic turn, and death, deceit and adultery arise from a misguided scheme to commit insurance fraud via arson.[2]
The series co-starred David Morrissey, Sharon Duce and Sue Johnston,[3] and was partially inspired by novelist Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge.[4] The series was originally due to transmit in the autumn of 1995, but was pushed back to February 1996.[5] The series was actor David Morrissey's first of three projects with producer David Snodin, with whom he later worked on Holding On and Passer By.[6] Notably, the series has never been re-broadcast or released on DVD.[7]
