Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: 2-DVD Set, Biographies, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Dolly Rawlins has just been released from prison after serving nine years for the murder of her husband, Harry, following a robbery that she and several other women had carried out on a security van that Harry was planning to raid [Widows (1983) & Widows 2 (1985) series]. Having acquired a reputation in prison as a dominant and respected figure, and being apparently now a reformed character, Dolly teams up with a number of other ex-convicts: Gloria Radford (who had fenced stolen guns), Ester Freeman, Connie Stevens and A. Dunn (prostitutes), J. Lawson (drug dealer) and K. O'Reilly (forger). Dolly and the other women make plans to set up a children's home in a derelict Victorian house. But Dolly is planning one final armed robbery on a mail train. The other women want a share in the proceeds in this robbery, but they are also secretly planning to get their hands on Dolly's money and jewels from the previous robberies. The police are also watching Dolly, hoping that she will lead them to the loot, but matters are hopelessly compromised when Mike Withey, one of the detectives and brother of Shirley Miller who died in the jewel raid [Widows 2 (1985) series], starts having an affair with Angela. He is coerced to help with the mail train robbery. Having pulled-off the robbery, the women meet back at the Manor House to divide up the spoils. However the simmering atmosphere of mistrust between Dolly and Ester leads to a tragic ending, after a trivial misunderstanding about a visit by the police... ...She's Out - Season 1 - 2-DVD Set ( She is Out ) ( She's Out - Season One )

Format:DVD
She's Out is the third and final part of Lynda La Plante's excellent 'Widows' trilogy and follows central character Dolly Rawlins (the always amazing Ann Mitchell) as she is released from prison having served eight years for the manslaughter of her husband. What police don't yet know is that Dolly has stashed stolen diamonds worth millions from a raid her husband carried out in 1984. Unfortunately, the diamonds have been stolen and sold, Dolly is left penniless and the police are on her back. Thrown to the wolves (or six ruthless women she was inside with) Dolly devises a surefire plan to secure her future and theirs, if they help. Dolly is going to rob the mail train. She's Out is gripping from start to finish, never letting up throughout it's six parts. Unfortunately, the series suffers from lack of continuity (Dolly never saw Shirley Miller shot, despite telling Esther so, and just where is Bella O'Reilly? She took the diamonds so surely she'd be back for a cut?) and the fact that none of the other leads can match Ann Mitchell for sheer talent, nor are any of them at all appealing in any sense. The mail train robbery is far-fetched at best, but leads to one of the best shock-endings of a tv series since the final part of Widows series two. Gripping, tense, enjoyable, let down slightly by huge plot-holes and some uncharismatic leads. Still recommended.

Format:DVD
I would recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys Lynda la Plante's work. I watched this when it was aired on TV 10 years ago and have been waiting for it's release since then. The book is also great. It's so good that I read it twice! Couldn't put it down once I had picked it up. The acting is excellent, especially Ann Mitchell, who plays the lead role as Dolly. I would recommend viewers to watch the Widows DVDs first and then this as the story of She's Out follows Widows. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough, especially at Amazon's great low price. Buy it now!

I loved this when it was on television and I have waited for what seems a lifetime for it to be repeated and now finally I can buy it on DVD.
I am a big fan of Lynda La Plante's works and She's Out is a great follow on to the widows films/novels.
I recommend this to any fan of a good gritty drama and obviously to any fan of Lynda's.
Cant wait to buy the DVD.
