Shoestring is a BBC detective drana set in Bristol and starring Trevor Eve as private detective Eddie Shoestring, who operatee his own show on Radio West, the local radio station. The programme ran between 30 September 1979 and 21 December 1980, in two series with 21 hour-long episodes. Eve opted not to return after two series, as he wanted to diversify into theatre, so the production team changed the setting to Jersey and created Bergerac, also following a detective returning to work after a bad period in his life.

Dead hookers, ice cream laced with marijuana, run-ins with the mob - it's just another average night for Kevin Spilker and his pals. To pass his film class, Kevin is following Eugene around for a day with a video camera and calling it a documentary. When the day is over, the question becomes: Has Kevin made the funniest student film of all time? Or has he made a truthful documentary about the wacky night they had to kill Eugene's abusive ex-girlfriend, Karen?
