The second of a six-part series from the producer of The Vet and The Doctor, following the dramatic, dangerous, and often humorous life of Roger Nowell , fisherman and modern-day buccaneer.
Poaching. Roger Nowell finds himself under surveillance by the Royal Navy, who are checking for illegal fishing.
Fishermen are no longer free to shoot their nets where they please or catch what they like, and face heavy penalties if they are caught breaking the complex laws. Nowell admits he's been forced to take evasive action on several occasions when he's been flouting the rules, but confesses that he "gets a zing" from being a deep-sea poacher.
