Malcolm

Episode 7 of 10

Despite his hopes that a change of scenery would help him get back into shape, Malcolm’s time in the caravan park has not helped him change his ways. Written by Jan Carson.

A caravan-park on the Northern Irish coast is beset by a series of impossible thefts, forcing its disparate group of residents to come together to find their missing belongings. However, in this uncanny place where static caravans teeter on an eroding a cliff-edge overlooking the ocean, each holidaymaker soon finds themselves similarly wavering between certainty and doubt; one world and the next; the past and the present; and even reality and fantasy.
