Big Breadwinner Hog (ITV 1968, Peter Egan, Donald Churchill)

Big Breadwinner Hog was an ultra violent (for the time and still strong stuff today) crime drama serial. In the eight parter violent young villain Hog aims to become King of London’s gangland.

Chapman was also responsible for the equally violent and just as high quality Spindoe with Ray McAnally.
