Better the Devil You Know
Reluctant arms dealer Simon has a chance to leave during an American takeover bid. Starring Darren Boyd. From 2010.
Reluctant arms dealer Simon McGrath finally has the opportunity to leave his dubious line of employment when an American company puts in a takeover bid.
Starring Darren Boyd.
The return of Laurence Howarth’s black comedy of modern morality sees Simon going to some bizarre lengths to excuse his profession.
Simon is a generally nice chap who just fell into arms dealing and he needs to pay his mortgage just like everyone else.
His real love is electronic music so this is just a stop gap until he finds the perfect outlet for it. Okay the gap has lasted five years, but that's not the point.
His personal life with Anna is as unsatisfactory as his work life...
