The Troubleshooters

Tosh and Nora (1x5)

Ausstrahlung: Aug 05, 1965

The approach of parenthood can have a sobering effect on the wildest of men, and it is like that with Tosh Brinkwater (John Tate). At fifty-five, an age when most wild men have either been tamed or seem to be past redemption, Tosh, still the hardest-living seaman in the Mogul fleet, decides that the time has come to turn over a new leaf. About to become a father for the first time, he stops gambling with his mates, cuts down on his drinking, lays off his wild trips ashore at Port Said to see Busy Lizzie, and asks Brian Stead to find him a quiet job ashore so that he can be with his wife, Nora (Jane Hylton), and his child. But when you are part of the far-flung operations of a big oil company, even the best of intentions, the most carefully laid plans, can go wrong.
