Thirty-Minute Theatre: Swallowing the Anchor

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by Frank Clements
with Leslie Sands as Cmdr. Edward Dusting, R.N. (Retd.)

Commander Edward Dusting is prematurely retired from the Navy. What is he to do? What kind of life can he find in the commercial world when all he has to offer is integrity and loyalty? The Commander is soon to find out when his first 'port of call' is at a high-powered P.R. firm and he steps into a world so alien that he can hardly contain himself.
