Episode 5

Episode 5 of 8

Sitcom based on a book by Danny Baker. Spud begins a life away from the docks, and Danny finally enters Miss Blondel's dark room.

It's a jump in the dark for both Danny and Spud. Literally for Danny, as he engages in more revealing encounters with Miss Blondel and her dark room, while for Spud it's the uneasy contemplation of life away from the docks. Which is where Tony the Totter and a bag of horse manure comes into the equation.
