The Lifeboat: Three Men in a Boat

on BBC One London

Last seen in the role of taxi driver in the repeat of Take Me Home, Keith Barron has a change of career when he appears as an amateur sailor and tycoon in Three Men in a Boat, the penultimate episode of Lynda La Plante's drama.
He plays Sir Colin Headley, a personable aristocrat who is rescued by the lifeboat team when his luxury yacht Monterey runs aground off Penrhys. A cash bonus for the RNLI looks likely, except Sir Colin seems to have a problem with cash.

Episode written by Jacqueline Byrne and Frank Vickery
A Bloom Street production for BBCtv
