Seven gripping full-cast thrillers and crime dramas by dramatist Rod Beacham.

The Inter-City Contract – A chess-playing Hungarian, a concert harpist and a septuagenarian lady mountaineer. These are just some of the travellers on the overnight express train from London's King's Cross to Edinburgh. And then, of course, there's the dead body in the baggage compartment. ‘Inter-City makes the going's easy’ is the popular tagline, but will anyone be coming back..? Starring Michael Maloney, Melinda Walker and Steve Hodson.

The Gortys Triangle – A mystery set on Crete, where a young man has drowned in unresolved circumstances. This mysterious death involves the sphere of the very rich, the world of archaeology, and a strange girl named Candy who knows the secret of it all. Starring David March.

Thanks for Looking After Jeannie – Dicky Doyle drops dead in Wormwood Scrubs and carries the secret hiding place of some purloined gems to his grave. Or does he? Arch-villain Jack Prince thinks he may have passed the secret on. This spells trouble for Billy and his Uncle Reg. A light-hearted comedy crime thriller in the vein of The Ladykillers or the TV series Porridge. Starring Peter Vaughan, Robin Summers and Bryan Pringle.

Prince of Thieves – Arch-villain Jack Prince has just come out of jail and is planning another Big Crime with the aid of his two ex-cronies and a nutty academic, a genius who can open electronic locks – including the ones in security vaults. Starring Peter Vaughan, Bryan Pringle, Alan Thompson and Trevor Nichols.

Go Down in Darkness – 'Just about the last time I saw Sue before she vanished, she said something very odd... She said that when she was 25 something terrible was going to happen to her. I didn't really take her seriously... but the night before last, this dream ... she was standing in front of me, staring at me and just repeating it over and over again: "Something terrible is going to happen. Something terrible is going to happen".' Starring Steve Hodson, Frances Jeater and Glynis Brooks.

Disconnection – Peter Taylor has worked hard all his life for achievement and success. Just when it seems within his grasp, he makes a telephone call - and the unexpected voice he hears on the other end fills him with foreboding and fear. Starring David Daker.

The Hubris File – Pargeter, a senior civil servant, has vanished, and the only clues to the mystery are to be found in his diary. It reveals Pargeter as a man under increasing mental and emotional strain. It also reveals that he knows there's a traitor in their ranks. Could this knowledge have led to his death? Geoffrey Collins stars as David Pargeter.
