John O'Rourke is made redundant at 40. So he applies to the Enterprise Allowance Board in Liverpool for a £40-a-week grant to set up in business as a private detective. In no time at all, he is caught up in the world of modern art, drug dealing and shoot-outs on container ships. CAST: John …. Ken Cumberlidge Mr O'Rourke …. Richard Tate Chris ….
