by Dick Francis, dramatised by Barry Campbell
with Tony Osoba, Robert Lang, Jack May, Selina Cadell

Being warned off Newmarket Heath is like being struck off the medical register only more so. When Kelly Hughes loses his licence as a jockey he loses his job, his home and his whole reason for living, and as it's for something he didn't do, he's determined to fight back and find out who framed him and why.

Special effects recorded at Hereford Racecourse and at Lethornes, Berkshire

Full Frontal by ROB GITTINS with Brian Glover Jonathan Scott and Penelope Lee
' Gentlemen, ladies. Four times this committee has met to discuss the proposed ... naturalisation of Shepley Cove.'
' You see where it's leading, Mr Chairman ... illicit women, naked men. parading their bodies up and down the byways. Naked flesh on full view to all and sundry ... '
In an attempt to control the situation, a councillor takes matters into his own hands.'
