Wipe Out

by Gary Morecambe

Two strangers find brief companionship in the treacherously beautiful Swiss alps -- neither anticipating that day would be their last. An old woman revisits the bittersweet wartime home of her youth. A middle-aged bank manager lives a moment of delicious freedom from routine as he tries on his wife's clothing -- only to find his faithful spouse has also been living a double life. And a passenger on the Aberdeen express has a key to a priceless heirloom thrust into his hands -- later discovering the man who gave it to him has been murdered... Weaving together fact and fiction, reality and fantasy, each episode is a sharply observed snapshot of human nature -- its unfulfilled dreams, repressed desires and poignant memories -- all with an unexpected twist in the tail which leaves you restless for more.
