Turtle's Progress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turtle's Progress was a British television series from 1979-1980.

The series was a comedy/drama, and dealt with a petty criminal named Turtle (played by John Landry) and his minder, Eddie (Michael Atwell), who by accident come into possession of the proceeds of a major bank robbery. Eddie had been told to steal a van, and the van he stole turned out to be the getaway vehicle for the robbery. Inside were a large number of safety deposit boxes. Each episode of the show dealt with Turtle and Eddie opening one box and dealing with the contents of it.

The offbeat humour of the show attracted a small but cult audience, and the show only ran for two series.
