Towards the End

Episode 1 of 6

By Lynne Truss. A severed head arrives in a box at Brighton police station; evil Mrs Vine's got a cunning plan to wreak havoc.

A comedy series written by Lynne Truss set in and around a Brighton police station in the 1950s a few years after the end of World War Two.

Second World war Bomb disposal hero Captain 'mad Hoagy' Hoagland, now fallen on hard times, appears at Brighton Police Station to deliver two boxes. One contains a silver truncheon; an award for valour for Sergeant Brunswick. The other contains the head of one of Mrs Groynes' old criminal accomplices Birthmark Potter. It is a warning to them all that Mrs G's criminal nemesis Adelaide Vine is heading back to Brighton, and that the sadistic criminal Terence Chambers is heading for town too ; both hell bent on havoc and revenge..
