About
The dodgy business deals of an older brother finally catch up with him, forcing him and his blameless younger brother to seek refuge in the family theme park business in Blackpool. The tension of this drama series, which ran for seven episodes in 1990, is whether or not Howitt's character can stay on the straight and narrow or if he will end up getting himself or his brother killed.
