The series followed the wives of a London gang who decide to carry out the plans of their deceased husbands and execute an armed robbery. The series, which had Verity Lambert as executive producer, was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series or Serial in 1984.

The show features strong female characters played by Ann Mitchell, Maureen O’Farrell, Fiona Hendley, and Eva Mottley with Debby Bishop, Maurice O’Connell and David Calder.
