The Chain (1984 film)

[2] In 1994, a spin-off television series, Moving Story, was made for ITV in which Warren Clarke played the part of Bamber.

Keith (representing Sloth) in Tufnell Park has a self-drive van and is moving to Willesden as first time buyers with his Indian wife Carrie.

In Hammersmith the Mr Thorn (Avarice) insists that the removal men take all door-knobs, light bulbs and ashes from the fireplaces (for the roses).

Two basic problems break the chain: the person in Hampstead decides she is not leaving, resulting in the Thorns being homeless, but they have also been conned into losing all their possessions due to passing them to a bogus removal firm.

Bamber persuades the owner, widow Mrs Andreos (Billie Whitelaw), to make her planned move to Holland Park by sitting in her kitchen and letting her tell stories of her late husband and her native Limassol.

In Knightsbridge Thomas (representing Wrath) discusses his decisions with his friend, telling him to auction his belongings at Sotheby's - he is dying.

He asks the chauffeur of his Rolls-Royce to take him to the house where he was brought up, in Quilter Street in Whitechapel, where he is renting the room vacated by Desmond, the first character we see leaving home at the start of the film.

The story ends showing each in their new home then an old homeless lady wrapping herself in newspaper preparing to spend the night in a doorway.
