Charles Endell Esquire

1979 · 1 season

A wry, slow-burning comedy-drama about a tough ex-con navigating Glasgow's underworld, mixing dry humour with a sense of lingering menace.

Created by
David Andrews
Overview
Charles Endell Esquire is a British comedy-drama series that is a spin-off of the series Budgie, with the role of Endell continuing to be played by Iain Cuthbertson. Due to an ITV technicians' strike which took the network completely off the air for three months, the first two episodes were broadcast in 1979 and the remaining episodes were not aired until May 1980. Only six episodes were made.
