Mr. Rose

Season 1

Retirement has given Mr Rose the time not only to cultivate a cottage garden in Eastbourne but also to write his memoirs.

And it’s the impending publication of those memoirs that brings a number of figures crawling out of the woodwork and back into his life: criminals and former colleagues alike, who know that his vast personal library of case files holds a wealth of incriminating detail.
