Dead Head

on BBC Two England

A thriller in four parts by HOWARD BRENTON with 2: Anything for England
Eddie Cass, small-time crook, gets this little job - take some fancy hatbox up west. But he opens the box. And then he chucks it in the river. With the head still in it.
Next thing there's top brass, smelling of scent, giving him hand-outs, asking about his ex-wife Dana.
That's how it all began. A right season in hell.
