The Main Chance Series 1 starring John Stride and Kate OMara
Out 18th May 2009 on DVD from Network.
David Main is an ambitious, dynamic and highly capable young solicitor who, having gained valuable experience in London, returns to his native Leeds to establish a new practice. Driven by a thirst for success, Main seeks out the most lucrative cases, but is also a man with a conscience who often acts for the most vulnerable and underprivileged. While his occasionally impetuous approach can take him into difficult legal waters - to the distaste of his more reserved and cautious Leeds partner Henry Castleton - Mains acumen and resourcefulness rarely fail him.

The Dodgy Tenant - Wilde Alliance (1978)
Patrick Newell plays a dapper neighbour to crime sloving couple Rupert and Amy Wilde (John Stride and Julia Foster) in this clip from the TV series Wilde Alliance (1978). However, beneath the veneer he is anything but respectable, which is evident from the first when he proves very touchy feely with a young woman he escorts into his flat, where it turns out he's been filming blue movies! He turns up at the Wildes to thank them for "looking after a package" for him, though they aren't happy that it turned out to be dodgy stuff he was hiding from the police. But Rupert is even less happy with Newell's next revelation - he actually owns the flat under them, scuppering any chance they had of ridding themselves of him!
