Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Michael Kitchen later became beloved as Foyle in 'Foyle's War'—this is him at his most unhinged and least detective-like.

Cultural

Made for BBC's 'Screen Two' strand, this exemplifies the bleak, upscale anxiety of late-80s British television before it gentrified into cozy crime dramas.
