A one-off crime drama from Scottish Television.
This self-contained television play was a standalone production from Scottish Television. It assembled a notable cast of familiar actors, including James Ellis, Russell Hunter, and Alex Norton, under the direction of Haldane Duncan. The 50-minute drama was written by Kevin Clarke, who would later contribute to prominent series like The Bill and Dalziel and Pascoe. As a single play, it stands in contrast to the long-form serials that were becoming increasingly dominant in the television landscape of the late 1980s.
