Introduction
"I
have also always been interested in the mayhem of family relationships,
and if you add to that the passion and power thatÂ’s hairdressing,
plus the havoc created by a 'blast from the past', split ends are
the least of the problems!" - Debbie Horsfield, writer.
Amanda
Holden and Sarah Parish sharpen their scissors in a war of passion
and peroxide, to run the best hair salon in Manchester in Debbie
HorsfieldÂ’s Cutting It, which transmits on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE from April
2002.
The
competitive world of hairdressing provides the backdrop for this
new drama series from the pen of award-winning writer, Debbie Horsfield.
"Hairdressing
salons are no longer the place to go to have your hair restyled,
you can chill out, get a massage or go in and talk to your stylist
and offload all your problems," says the writer. "There
are so many human dilemmas going on a writer is never going to run
out of ideas."
Allie
Henshall (Sarah Parish) and husband Gavin Ferraday (Jason Merrells)
are the proud proprietors of Henshall Ferraday, a successful family
hairdressing business based in Manchester. AllieÂ’s
sisters, Darcey (Angela Griffin) and Sydney (Sian Reeves), take
care of beauty and nails.
The
husband and wife team appear to have it all - except a baby which
Gavin desperately wants. As the couple celebrate the salonÂ’s
tenth anniversary Allie announces plans to expand - the business,
not her waistline! Gavin is mortified. However, new arrivals in
town, Mia Bevan (Amanda Holden), and her husband, Finn (Ben Daniels),
have plans of their own.
Before
long the beautiful yet conniving Mia has opened a rival salon, Blade
Runner, right across the road from Henshall Ferraday. And the charismatic
Finn, once the love of AllieÂ’s life, is again making a play
for her affection. With her business under threat from Mia and her
heart under siege from Finn, Allie is forced to fight. And so begin
"The Manchester hairdressing wars"Â…
