Cully - The Third Gentleman

**** 4 Extra remembers Scottish actor Alexander Morton who died in April aged 81.

Another case for the roguish sleuth, Mr Cullender, in 1790s Edinburgh.

As the Press Gang roams the streets looking for likely lads to fight Napoleon, and while the Town Guard finds themselves baffled by a spate of wine cellar murders, Cully gallantly rushes to the assistance of a young lady in distress.

Starring Alexander Morton.
