This was an attempt by the BBC to repeat the success of Channel 4's television films, many of which had been released in cinemas. From 1989 to 1998, a companion series, ''Screen One'', was broadcast on the more mainstream BBC1. After appearing more sporadically in the mid-1990s, ''Screen Two'' came to an end as the BBC moved its attentions away from single dramas and concentrated production on series and serials instead.
