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 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 December 1987 and comes from an old recording. It has the added interest of ads for TV programmes for Acorn Antiques, Our Geoff and Sports Review of 1987 on the end of this episode for Radio Times, plus the start of the film Breakheart Pass that may be of interest to some. (And funnily enough, that may be a clue of one of the things I plan to upload next week). I was apprehensive about watching this gritty thriller, but this is still better than Jute City and remains a rare curio. Please note that this contains swearing, violence and nudity.
