Mike Leigh's "Meanwhile" depicts the economic recession in Britain during the Thatcher era and is a pinnacle of this writer-director's groundbreaking work in television. He uses tense interactions to break the monotony of the daily lives of the brothers played by Phil Daniels and Tim Roth, which includes encounters with a serious aunt (Marianne Bayley) striving to become middle class and a raving bald-headed psycho (scene-stealing Gary Oldman, in his first major role), leading to increasing dissatisfaction for the brothers. "Meanwhile" is propelled by Mike Leigh's now-iconic improvisational process and Beckett-esque rhythms of dialogue, offering a relentless and often extremely funny observation of life on unemployment benefits.
