The Chief by ALLAN PRIOR
James Masters , Chief of Constabulary, comes to a crisis in his personal life and his career in this political thriller. Does he obey his masters or does he follow older loyalties?
Where does his duty lie - with his job, his class, his family? In the violent and strife-torn city, his is to be the last word.
Directed by CHRISTOPHER VENNING (Repeated: Monday 3.5 pm)
