The story hear follows the miserable life of Dixie Dean and his wife and teenage family.
This involves his trips to the dole to be interrogated by the arrogant DSS man and his home life involving plenty of shouting and conflicts.
The main story though involves Dixie and his night shift on the docks as a security guard. He inadvertently gets involved with a gang of thieves who threaten him to cooperate and in many respects these are the best scenes of the episode.
The acting of Tom Georgeson is superb though and the scenes of the dark silent docks and the wet windswept streets add so much to this episode.
Worth seeing for the great scene involving a monologue Dixie and one of the robbers that was arguably the most memorable of the whole series.
