    Stay Lucky

    1 9 8 9 – 1 9 9 3 (UK)
    24 x 60 minute episodes

    Dennis Waterman (ex-The Sweeney and Minder) plays Thomas Gynn, a geezer on the run ‘up north’ to escape some misdemeanours committed in London.

    He happens upon Sally Hardcastle (Jan Francis), her car broken down on the motorway, and manages to get her back on the road again, cadging a lift in the direction of Leeds.

    The two develop an attraction for each other and Thomas becomes caught up in Sally’s complicated life, involving a late unfaithful husband, a stolen painting and intimidation from sources interested in the painting’s recovery.

    The character of Samantha Mansfield (Susan George) was written out after a few episodes of series 4, and after some hasty re-writes, Leslie Ash’s character Jo Blake was introduced as a replacement love interest for Thomas Gynn.

    The theme – Stay Lucky and Free – was sung by Dennis “write the theme tune . . . sing the theme tune” Waterman.
