As Max Kidd's company tries to secure a bid to redevelop a piece of green belt land for their business, nothing seems to be going right for them as they face losing their bid to a rival firm. However it seems that someone is working to sabotage the firm's bid, and will resort to any means to do so...

Starring Peter Blake, Bruce Payne, Dermott Crowley, Alphonsia Emmanuel, Judi Trott, Doran Godwin, Liz Crowther, Duncan Preston, John Bluthal, Jack Carr, Barrie Cookson, John Forgeham, Victoria Wicks, Alan Hunter, Bruce McGuire, Carol Leader, Sally St David, Francesca Hall, Peter Symonds, Richard Moore, John Scholes, Roger Hammond, Jonathan Lindsey, Jonathan Lacey, Tommy Eytle, Michael Mascoll and Michael Baish. This is the last I have of the Storyboard anthology series, which I originally saved from Mick's Nostalgia Channel when it was on Youtube. It's quite an absorbing edition as well, originally broadcast on August 16th 1989, as businessman Max Kidd finds out that someone is deliberately sabotaging the company's bid, little realizing that Max can play just as dirty if need be. Despite this, you'll be hoping he succeeds, but the main interest is spotting all those familiar faces that you know you've seen elsewhere but can't put a finger on it, such as Alphonsia Emmanuel (House of Cards, 1990), Duncan Preston (Surgical Spirit), Victoria Wicks (Drop the Dead Donkey) and Tommy Eytle (EastEnders Jules Tavernier from 1990-96) among a few. And keep your eyes peeled at 47 mins when Max's wife rings him from the university - in the background is none other than Marc Warren as a student. Marc later became famous for The Vice (1999-2000) and Hustle (2004-2010), but his appearance as an extra here is only his 2nd ever screen appearance!
