About this programme

3/6. The old poem about the boy standing on the burning deck takes on new meaning as Kavanagh defends two Navy officers accused of arson, and finds he cannot use his only defence. It is a tough case, and the last thing he needs is extra stress at home - but that does not stop the children planning an anniversary party without telling him. With Andy Serkis, Ray Winstone and Geraldine James.
