Drama series detailing the problems in the life of employment lawyer Jonathan Vishnevski aka ‘Fish’.
Fish’s wife had mysteriously disappeared, leaving him to look after his young son, and he began an affair with Joanna Morgan. The other regular character was Trevor, an amateur philosopher who owned a mobile burger bar.
Written by actor/writer Stephen Tredre, after his death the series final scripting was finished by Matthew Bardsley, resulting in only one series being made.
