Lancer: Jelly Hoskins' American Dream

on BBC Two England

A pioneer settler and his two sons fighting to keep their hard-won cattle land in the lawless territory of California during the closing years of last century.

A large, ungainly, humpbacked bull with a friendly tendency for licking hands hardly seems worthy of the excitement, intrigue and deceit that surrounds it. But although 'Hump' may be ugly he is rather special.

Andrew Duggan, the tall actor who plays Murdoch Lancer, cut his professional teeth with the US equivalent of ENSA during World War II. Later, he was in the stage productions of "Paint Your Wagon" and "The Rose Tattoo".
