A ruthlessly ambitious boxing promoter puts his son in a fight he cannot win

This crime thriller features an unusual night-time scene filmed at Stratford Diesel Depot, and Class 37 No.37518 can be seen stabled alongside the shed with a Railfreight European-liveried Class 47 and two Class 58s for company. There is also a scene filmed by a canal at night, with a train of hauled coaching stock moving slowly in the middle distance, and a scene filmed from a block of flats, with a blurred background image of a slam-door EMU in Stagecoach SWT colours passing. The 58s are very rare on film. And here we get two!!
