Synopsis[]
"A Tale of Ye Olde London in Five Parts", set in Pudding Lane in 1666. Matthew Rose is the local pick-pocket and prime suspect in a murder (some things never change). Teresa di Marco is an Italian aristocrat, stranded in "The Walford Arms" and Janine Butcher is a 'lady of the night'. You'll see other members of the cast living up to their Albert Square reputations, including Mark Fowler, Ricky Butcher and Carol Jackson.
