Powercuts, checkpoints and harassment form the daily routine for these Iraqis, who hoped so much and got so little from regime change. A soundscape of Arabic music adds a thrilling pulse of menace as the action moves inexorably towards violence.

As Khafaji, Waleed Zuaiter brings a wholly convincing air of crushed world-weariness, as he keeps on keeping on because there is no alternative.

Baghdad Central is what Channel 4 calls a "dual-language drama", aiming to strike a perfect balance between subtitles-for-authenticity and English-for-easy-viewing. It mostly succeeds.
