The run
Six films, one winter
Listed in order, first at the top. Nothing is behind a payment and nothing is taken down.
The pilot boat
Four runs out to the harbour mouth in one night, putting a pilot onto the ladder of a ship that does not slow down.
Cold store
Minus twenty-four degrees, eight hours, and a man who has worked in it for nineteen years and still counts the minutes.
Three in the morning at the fish market
The auction lasts forty minutes and decides what the whole city eats. Everything before it takes six hours.
Two cranes
Forty metres up, in a cab the size of a cupboard, moving boxes that weigh thirty tonnes each until the tide turns.
The bakery on Dock Road
Three ovens, two bakers and six hundred rolls that have to be on the quay by five, whatever happens at two.
Last bus, first bus
A driver finishes the last service at 01:40 and takes the first one out at 04:55. This is the three hours in between.
Two episodes left in the series
Seven and eight are being cut now. Write in if you want a note when each one goes up.
