Mrs. Gaffney
Barney Thomson, awkward, diffident, Glasgow barber, lives a life of desperate mediocrity and his uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer.
Dolly
Tony Roper wrote 'The Steamie' for Glasgow's Mayfest in 1987. Return to Hogmany 1957 when a fiesty group of Glasgow women; Mrs Culfeathers, Dolly, Doreen and the irrepressible Magrit, all meet at The Steamie to do the traditional family wash before the New Year. The Steamie is a hilarious cameo of Glasgow's social history where the washing was always easier to do when the Women shared their laugher and sorrow and a scandalous supply of gossip. This is the definitive version of the most popular play of the last 20 years with the all star cast of Dorothy Paul as Magrit, Eileen McCallum as Dolly, Kate Murphy as Doreen, Sheila McDonald as Mrs Culfeathers and a very young Peter Mullan as Andy, the whisky loving handy man.

The joining of two seemingly different families opens into a witty and audacious tale, which caused uproar after its first broadcast in 1972.

Nurse
감독의 자전적 영화로 , , 의 삼부작으로 제작되었다. 런던영화학교 재학 당시 쓴 자신의 어린 시절을 다룬 라는 시나리오를 가지고 1972년 를 연출하여 국제적인 명성을 얻은 후 자신의 성장과정을 그린 (1973)과 (1978)을 만들어 삼부작을 완성했다. 스코틀랜드의 탄광촌을 배경으로 비참한 어린 시절과 파편화 된 가족의 모습을 너무나도 리얼하게 담고 있는 영화는 이상하게도 시적이며 처절하게 아름답다. 정신병원에 갇힌 어머니와 자신의 존재를 거부하는 아버지로 인해 외할머니 손에 자라야 하는 현실과 제대로 된 가구가 한 점도 없는 극빈한 경제적인 형편, 석탄 가루만 날리는 회색의 탄광촌에서 배고픔과 외로움과 싸우는 어린 제이미의 모습에서 예술가가 되겠다는 결심하는 그리고 이집트의 군부대에서 이후 평생 친구가 된 로버트(빌 더글러스의 평생 동지였던 피터 주울을 모델로 한)를 만나 문학과 예술을 사랑하게 된 젊은 제이미의 모습까지 영화는 잔인할 만큼 사실적인 이미지를 담고 있다. 비전문 배우들과 현장 촬영, 대사와 음악, 카메라 움직임의 부재, 흑백의 황량한 화면에도 불구하고 전편에 걸쳐 헤아릴 수 없는 아름다움이 관객을 사로잡는다. 빌 더글러스는 1991년 57세의 나이로 세상을 뜰 때까지 단 4편의 영화만 만들어 그만의 독특한 영화세계를 창출했다.
