    ANTHONY ANDREWS, LENNY HENRY and ELIZABETH BERRINGTON HEAD ALL STAR CAST FOR KAY MELLOR'S "THE SYNDICATE 3" FOR BBC ONE This spring the third series of the critically acclaimed, hugely popular drama The Syndicate, from the pen of BAFTA award-winning writer Kay Mellor OBE, creator of Band of Gold, Fat Friends, A Passionate Woman and In The Club will screen on BBC One. It's 2015 and the once impressive Hazelwood Manor, which overlooks all of Scarborough and is the family home of the Hazelwoods, has now fallen into disrepair. Lord Hazelwood (Anthony Andrews, The King's Speech, Birdsong, Brideshead Revisited) is fading fast, but Lady Hazelwood (Alice Krige, Thor: The Dark World, Spooks), his second wife, seems more concerned with maintaining the lifestyle she's become accustomed to whilst his stepson Spencer (Sam Phillips, In the Flesh, Pete Versus Life) seems intent on spending his inheritance as quickly as possible. What is left of the estate is rapidly disappearing on fast cars, fancy yachts and living the high life despite rising debts... all behind the back of the ailing Lord Hazelwood. Meanwhile 'downstairs' they have had to seriously reduce their staff; once there were 30, now there are only five left: housekeeper Sarah (Cara Theobold, Downton Abbey, Scrotal Recall, Call The Midwife), cleaner Dawn (Elizabeth Berrington, Stella, Trying Again, Crimson Petal and the White), cook Julie (Melanie Hill, Cilla, Brassed Off, Auf Wiedersehen Pet), groomsman cum odd-job man Sean (Richard Rankin, The Crimson Field, Silent Witness, Black Watch) and gardener Godfrey (Lenny Henry, The Magicians, Harry & Paul, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban).

The law slots kids into various categories according to age and each pattern has been classi- fied. I’ve seen the articles of the law and consider them fairly good. Now we have a law to activate its articles, but I am wor- ried over ways of implementation and follow-up to provide maximum protection for the child, especially regarding physi- cal abuse at the hands of parents, relatives and maids. According to the law, this particular issue of physical abuse has a good share of treatment options and suggestions. But the problem is that such problems are rarely detected or spo- ken publicly, because a person who abuses a child will not expose himself, while the child does not understand written laws but understands what is in front of him or her. The child understands the code of society - that you cannot talk about any harm to your body because of the customs and traditions and possible mocking by others or punishment if the abuser is By Aakash Bakaya away from their parents’ (and in some job offers to back them up.
