Written by David Ellis
A series created by Ted Willis
starring Jack Warner

Holland's Removals is staffed by ex-guests of Her Majesty, all trying to go straight. When someone starts removing more than the furniture, the firm is caught up in its own who-dun-it which leads to a denouement worthy of Agatha Christie - with everyone under suspicion. Dixon has to read the riot act before the culprit is caught.
