What's
the story?
Jack has just been acquitted of manslaughter after a court trial
and delights in regaling a disparaging account of the details to
his live-in girlfriend Maggie and their neighbours Dennis and Lynne.

| John
Altman |
According
to the evidence (most of it Jack's) the victim broke in late at
night and produced a gun which was seized by Jack and then used
to kill the intruder. A clear case of self-defence, or was it…?
The victim's family don't think so, but when the real truth is discovered,
there are shocking consequences for everyone involved…
Superbly crafted and witty
thriller…excellent  |

Jameson is possibly most well-known for Eastenders,
where she played Italian matriarch Rosa di Marco for two and a half
years. She has also enjoyed many other high profile television parts
over the years including a stint as one of Doctor Who's assistants
and regular appearances in TV favourites, Bergerac and Tenko.
Kevin

as murderer Graham Clark in Emmerdale. His stage credits include
the title role in the hit musical Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story;
