Travelling Man (1984)
Wonderful series, long forgotten unfortunately..
Leigh Lawson (the actor who should have been the Bond of the 80s) stars in this excellent drama set around the canals of Northern England. I remember watching this as a 14 year old and it had a profound effect on me! Though a troubled production, it was wonderfully shot with some excellent locations and a strangely chilling, yet compelling central storyline. Lawson portrays Lomax perfectly as a man betrayed by society and the system, who takes to the canals in search of the man that framed him. A menacing, yet poignant aura of loneliness always seems to haunt Lomax and the way the final series ended was perhaps the bleakest ever conclusion to any TV series I have ever seen. Probably had a lot to do with the excellent musical score that accompanied it! This so warrants a DVD release, or at the very minimum a repeat on Freeview..
