Episode #1.1

In 1938 at a boarding house in London numerous residents live out their lives. There is Mr Josser, newly retired from his firm after 42 years, but not looking forward to it, and whose daughter Doris looks to move out to a flat of her own, much to her mother's anger. There is Mr Puddy, a fat man who cooks fish most days, and Connie Coke, a faded actress who is being chased for the rent by landlady Mrs Vizzard, a widow woman. And there is Mrs Boon and her son Percy, who fantasies about gangster movies and girls and who is involved in respraying stolen cars at the garage he works at. And of course there is the mysterious Mr Squales who arrives looking for a room. Observing it all is the final resident at 10 Dulcimer Street boarding house, Dr Otto Hapfer, a German immigrant who writes letters to a correspondent in Germany and who unbeknownst to the others is a Nazi spy.
