A Statement of Affairs is a three-part British television psychological thriller, written by Eric Deacon and directed by Colin Gregg, that first broadcast on ITV for two consecutive nights from 8 to 9 March 1993. The series stars Frances Barber, David Threlfall, Adrian Dunbar, Lesley Manville, Rosalind Bennett and Dorian Healy as friends Pip, Alan, Adrian, Carol, Sue and Steve, who have been close friends for many years. But when one of them is murdered, hidden secrets from the past begin to emerge.In a pre-broadcast review by The Independent, the series was described as "stylish", with writer James Rampton commenting; "Sporty yuppies who live in penthouse flats and embroil themselves in financial chicanery may seem a bit vieux jeu in the recessionary Nineties. This, however, is the backdrop to Carlton's stylish three-part psychological thriller about friendship foundering. Despite similarities with Thirtysomething (check the acoustic soundtrack) and The Big Chill, this is certainly more substantial than Carlton's last network drama offering, Head Over Heels".
