Episodes
Wide-Eyed and Legless
The marriage of Deric and Diana Longden is a successful one, based on a shared sense of humour as well as love. It seems sure to survive even when Diana is struck down by a mysterious debilitating and, as it transpires, progressive illness. When Deric meets novelist Aileen Armitage matters become complicated, but not in predictable fashion.
A Foreign Field
Cyril takes Amos to France to visit the grave of their wartime buddy Briggsy. While in Normandy they encounter Waldo, an American D-day veteran. Cyril and Waldo are determined to find their old girlfriend from 50 years before. Also in their party is the mysterious Lisa, whose secret is revealed only at the end of their journey.
Down Among the Big Boys
Comedian Billy Connolly returns to Glasgow to star in a film written by Peter McDougall, a fellow worker in the Clydeside shipyards of his youth and screenwriter of The Long Good Friday.

The comic offering for tonight's Screen One film is a transatlantic jaunt involving a schoolboy who bets his friend he'll be worth a million before the week is out.
Wall of Silence
A corpse is fished out of a north London canal with stab wounds through the eyes. A gruesome opening: but the victim was a prominent member of the Hasidic Jewish community, and the cause of death one reserved by the Hasidim to punish "moysers", or informers.
This tale of ritual murder and the refusal of the tight-knit Hasidic community to co-operate with the police has already caused controversy.
The Bullion Boys
In May 1940, just before Dunkirk, the governors of the Bank of England decided that the nation's bullion would be safer in the vaults of Martin's
Bank in Liverpool. How easy It would have been for the gang of dockers who unloaded the cargo at Liverpool to "sample" the wares....
