Spindoe: Now You’re Running (ITV 24 May 1968, with Jon Laurimore)

Published

on


Things are not looking good for Alec in Now You’re Running, he is more or less back where he started – this time he will have a life sentence to deal with if he is caught by the police. Worse than that he is under a death sentence from both Mackleson and Scaliger.

Forced on the run Spindoe knows he needs to get out of London and out of the country if possible. As the police, Mackleson and Scaliger all converge on Spindoe’s Thames hideout time is running out.

Whatever the outcome it is not going to end well for Alec Spindoe. It turns out that it doesn’t end up too well for Mackleson either.

A brilliant series, excessively violent and would have seemed even more so on original broadcast, but the scripts from Robin Chapman and performances all round are superb.
