I'll have to say a 1989 BBC drama production starring Diana Rigg called 'Mother Love'. It was adapted by Andrew Davies (The BBC's House of Cards Trilogy) from Domini Taylor's (Roger Longrigg's) novel concerning a mother's obsessive love for her son, vengeful hatred of his father, her ex-husband, and the effect on her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. The drama has never been released on BBC VHS or DVD in the past. Diana Rigg is absolutely malevolent in the role,and the drama became a cult classic overtime. I know that clips of the drama have surfaced in the past on You Tube, but since then it's disappeared altogether. Why the BBC didn't release it on DVD ill never know? It did get repeated on UK Gold back in the mid to late 1990's, but since then, nothing.
