3. A Costume Piece

Raffles Series 1

What starts as a low-key stakeout turns into a terrifying scramble for survival. Stars Michael Cochrane and Jeremy Clyde.

Reuben Rosenthall has made his millions in the diamond fields of South Africa.

It seems only right and proper to Raffles that some of this wealth should be redistributed.

But his attempts to seize the diamonds don't quite go according to plan, as a low-key stakeout spirals into a terrifying scramble for survival.

Starring Jeremy Clyde and Michael Cochrane.

EW Hornung's early Raffles stories dramatised by David Buck.
