This set comprises both The Hanged Man and TurtIe's Progress, devised and scripted by The Power Game's Edmund Ward.
THE HANGED MAN
After three attempts to kill him, Lew Burnett, owner of an internationaI construction company, decides to stay 'dead' in order to stay alive. Undercover and on borrowed time, he must draw his enemies out while confronting some painful truths.
Starring Colin BIakeIy and MichaeI WilIiams, this powerful eight-part thriIIer aIso features appearances from JuIian GIover, Barbara SheIley and Jane Seymour.
TURTLE'S PROGRESS
Adopting a Iighter tone, this spin-off charted the expIoits of the petty crook first encountered in The Hanged Man, with TurtIe and his accomplice Razor Eddie in accidentaI possession of a van containing eighty safe deposit boxes the proceeds of a bank job.
Guest starring Antony Sher, Joss Ackland and Peter BowIes, Turtle's Progress prefigured Minder with its gritty London setting and sharp humour. |
