His wife has left him, and his son, Steve, is missing, lying low on Britain's waterways. Now, returning to his beloved narrowboat, "Harmony", Lomax embarks on a long search for his son - and also for clues
he is determined to prove his innocence by finding the man who framed him. But Lomax knows that his new life will be anything but easy. He is still regarded with suspicion by the police, who have placed him under surveillance, and is pursued not only by members of the criminal underworld, but also by a doggedly persistent journalist named Robinson...
Travelling Man was created and scripted by Roger Marshall - renowned for his contributions to The Avengers, Public Eye and The Sweeney, among many other classic series - and stars Leigh Lawson (Madame Sousatzka, Tess) as the driven, haunted Lomax
