Tuesday, May 7 - Special Branch: A Copper Called Craven

Special Branch: Season 3, Episode 1 A Copper Called Craven (4 Apr. 1973)

'A Copper Called Craven', written by Roger Marshall, begins with small-time crook 'Ridley' (Tony Selby) being arrested while trying to smuggle gold watches through customs at Heathrow airport. In his defence he claims that he had bribed 'D.C.I. Craven' to let him through. Craven is suspended from active duty in the Special Branch. His home is searched by detectives, and he is subjected to harsh interrogation at the hands of 'Pettiford' (Peter Jeffrey). To make matters worse, a large sum of money has been deposited in his bank account, so clearly someone is trying to frame him. But whom? Craven embarks on a one-man quest to clear his name.
