  • 2 days ago
Part 2 of 3 of the 1987 thriller. Weaver is persuaded by pal Jack Irwin to rob rival nightclub owner Mc Fadden of his drug dealing courier money, but in return wants the name of the bent copper that presided over his son's murder investigation. He also locates the boy's teacher Kelling, who informs him that the area his son was found is a notorious drug wasteland, but is later told by the bent cop Greerson that his son wasn't into drugs. So why was he there? As he continues to dig into the case, Weaver risks complicating matters when he becomes involved in an affair with Irwin's girlfriend Hazel. And his prying begins to disturb someone, when someone pays his father in law Doyle a visit at the book shop...

Starring David Threlfall, Michael Angelis, Craig Charles, James Ellis, Richard Griffiths, Leslie Ash, Eithne Browne, Terence Harvey, Dawn Archibald, Andrew Scofield, Ray Kingsley and Nick Maloney among the cast. This has never been repeated since it's broadcast in 1987 and comes from an old recording. It has the added interest of ads for TV programmes on the end of this episode for Radio Times that may be of interest. Please note that this contains swearing, violence and nudity.

(Further note: For those wondering where Episode 3 is, your guess is as good as mine. I have asked 3 times why it was removed - apparently due to audio elements - but no explanation what those audio elements are. For those seeking the last episode, I can only advise you to seek it out on ok.ru. Apologies for the inconvenience, but sadly this is not down to me. Good luck finding it on ok.ru)
