G.B.H. is a seven-part British television drama written by Alan Bleasdale shown in the summer of 1991 on Channel 4. Described by Bleasdale as "one caring, liberal madman's odyssey through the appalling farce of life in Britain today", its protagonists are Michael Murray, the hard-left Labour leader of a city council in the North of England, and Jim Nelson, the headmaster of a special school. In normal parlance, the initials 'G.B.H.' refer to the criminal charge of grievous bodily harm. However, Bleasdale claimed in an interview on the DVD that the title is supposed to stand for 'Great British Holiday'.
