Moving Story (ITV Drama, Warren Clarke, Phil Davis)

Comedy drama series Moving Story details the ‘ups and downs’ of a removal firm, especially the main crew of ‘The African Queen’ led by the general knowledge mad Bamber (Warren Clarke).

Like series creator Jack Rosenthal’s late 1960’s sitcom The Dustbinmen this series was all about the dynamic between the crew who included Adrenalin (Phil Davis), Nick (Con O’Neill) and new boy Asif (Rhonny Jhutti). Ken (Kenneth Colley) was the bitter manager of the company. The series began with a feature length opener and lasted a couple of seasons, it had it’s roots though in Rosenthal’s 1984 Film Four comedy The Chain.
