E2 Anything for England 1986-01-22 · 50 min Eddie Cass, small-time crook, gets this little job - take some fancy hatbox up west. But he opens the box. And then he chucks it in the river. With the head still in it. Next thing there's top brass, smelling of scent, giving him hand-outs, asking about his ex-wife Dana. That's how it all began. A right season in hell.

E3 The War Room 1986-01-29 · 50 min Eddie Cass , small-time crook, throws this hatbox into the Thames. With the head still in it. Now everyone reckons he knows who did it.

E4 The Patriot 1986-02-05 · 50 min Eddie Cass , small-time crook, throws this hatbox into the river. With the head still in it. Now they're all paying to find out who did it.
