The Colour Room

The central character is a strong-willed woman who despite coming from a lower-income home has enough belief in herself to make herself heard by her senior male colleagues, many of whom display sexist behavior. Good gender balance in both the main and supporting cast. There is some diversity in terms of race among the supporting cast, although all the main roles are played by White actors.

A character wears a scarf made from an unspecified dead animal. A fire at a factory results in a kiln collapsing. Someone is briefly seen being pulled out of the fire and there are screams of pain heard. Later there is reference to one of the victims being "likely to never recover from his burns." A character throws a pocket watch at someone. After suffering internal pain, a character is admitted to hospital but dies during an operation. Their funeral -- including the carrying of the coffin -- is shown. Another character is diagnosed with cancer. A scene involves clay pigeon shooting.

Some kissing and displays of affection. Two characters embark on an affair, although nothing beyond kissing is shown. Multiple references to the affair are made by others.

Some use of "bloody hell." Also "nincompoop," and "my God," "goddamn," "for God's sake," and "God," all used as exclamations. A character is referred to as a "home wrecker." Some sexist behavior such as asking a woman character to "make the tea" as well as the use of "love" in a patronizing manner.

Characters are regularly seen smoking both cigarettes and pipes. Reference to a coat smelling of smoke. Some drinking, both in work meeting and at social gatherings. Brief glimpse of someone who appears to have drunk too much being moved on by the police.
