A comedy in six parts by Alex Shearer

Malcom is getting ready for Security Patrol, and his half-brother Sheldon accuses him of only doing the job because he likes getting dressed up in uniforms. While Malcom is on patrol he meets his friend Fraser who is a policeman, and shows enthusiasm for joining the force. The brothers arrange their mother's burial with The Rev Colt, who is rather taken aback with the plans made by Sheldon. And
Malcom is concerned when he hears Sheldon's ideas for their home - a roots and culture club with bands etc.
Starring Paul Barber as Malcom, Alan Igbon as Sheldon
