Very Long Shot - Name This Tv Drama

[barry1010]

Roughly 30 years ago. Crime drama (murder) set in the flatlands of Cambridge/Anglia involving a man on the run out on the fens in camouflage gear. A caravan might have been involved. This actor was in his 20s with a very distinctive face and dark hair. It featured this chap crawling round the fens soldier style.
I'm sure the storyline was one or two episodes of a long running drama but I can't remember who the detective (the star of the show) was.
Is it ringing any bells? I can remember nothing else about it

It wasn't some spin-off from Soldier Soldier was it? That was circa 1993.

No, definitely not but thanks.

I'm fairly certain it was an episode of Frost. The guy was ex army and had PTSD. He became a suspect in a murder case where a woman is murdered locally but it turns out she was working at an escort agency, miles away in London. Her daughter and her husand knew nothing about her other life. Thats about as much as I can remember.

Thanks, 10C.

I hope to have time on Saturday to chase up the Private Lives episode of Frost.  I will report back.

Thanks again, everyone

Patsy is still dreaming about Trevor Eve

^^^^

Haha.. Hoppy,

I like him but never had a crush on him..

I'm sad to report that the drama I am seeking is not a Frost episode.  The 'baddie' in Private Lives is a well known actor who starred in London's Burning.

So thanks for all your help, I've also checked out Inspector Lynley to no avail.  If I ever track it down, I will let you know.

Edge of Darkness ?

Looking at the cast of that series, I have to say 'no' to Edge of Darkness.

[Barsel]

Barry, can you remember any of the other actors who were in it?
