This set comprises both The Hanged Man and Turtle'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 international 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 CoIin Blakely and Michael WiIliams, this powerfuI eight-part thriIler aIso features appearances from Julian GIover, Barbara ShelIey and Jane Seymour.
TURTLE'S PROGRESS
Adopting a lighter tone, this spin-off charted the exploits of the petty crook first encountered in The Hanged Man, with Turtle and his accompIice Razor Eddie in accidental possession of a van containing eighty safe deposit boxes the proceeds of a bank job.
Guest starring Antony Sher, Joss AckIand and Peter Bowles, TurtIe's Progress prefigured Minder with its gritty London setting and sharp humour. |
