Spender: Retreat

on BBC One London

Last in the hard-hitting drama series about a maverick Geordie cop. Created by Ian La Frenais and Jimmy Nail, and starring Jimmy Nail.
When the only prosecution witness in a major fraud trial vanishes, it looks as if Gillespie's case against Ken Moran will fold. Spender goes undercover in search of new evidence, which gives him a breathing space to think through the complications that have arisen in his personal life.

An Initial/Big Boy production for BBCtv
