Sweet Revenge is a two-part British television drama series, created and written by playwright Sandy Welch, that first broadcast on BBC1 on 15 October 2001. The series stars Paul McGann, Sophie Okonedo and Pam Ferris, and follows Patrick Vine (McGann), an enigmatic Professor, who, when not teaching History and Anthropology, runs a sideline in helping people get revenge. As a group of wronged Londoners employ Vine to help exact revenge upon those who have mistreated them, Ellen (Okonedo), who is seeking revenge on her cheating husband, gradually grows closer to Vine. The series was directed by actor David Morrissey.
The series broadcast over two consecutive nights, with the concluding episode following on 16 October 2001. The first episode drew 6.61 million viewers, while viewing figures for the second were unrecorded. The series is yet to be released on DVD; however, both episodes are available to watch for free on YouTube.
