When DS Caleb Martin confiscates a replica gun from his son’s school briefcase, he innocently triggers a tragic chain of events that leads to a number of deaths including his own. The off–duty police officer is callously gunned down in a Kingsmarkham bank during an armed raid that baffles his colleagues. The murder weapon is never found. Six months later, three people are murdered during a bloody massacre at Tancred House, home of the novelist Davina Flory…
- Kissing the Gunner’s Daughter was filmed on location in the Hampshire village of Breamore and is the final title produced for TVS.
- Jacqueline Defferary left her course at drama school to accept the role of Daisy:
I couldn’t believe it when I was given the part. I couldn’t have asked for a better first job.
