StiffJune 20, 2004 (Seven) Adapted for television by John Clarke, Stiff is set in the seedy world of big business and fresh produce, and finds Murray Whelan hot on the trail of deception, hired industry thugs and unwitting pawns moved about with calculated chilling care. The fiddle at the meat-packing works was a nice little earner for all concerned until Herb Gardiner (Alan Hopgood) reported finding a body in the Number 3 chiller. An accident, of course, but just the excuse a devious political operator might grab to stir up trouble with the unions. Enter Murray Whelan (Wenham), minder, fixer and general dogsbody for the Minister for Ethnic Affairs, Angelo Agnelli (Mick Molloy). Between playing off party factions and pursuing the kohl-eyed Ayisha (Tamara Searle), it's all in a day's work for Murray to hose down the situation at Excellent Meats. Then the lairy V8 turns up. And after that, it gets personal. Because don't you just hate it when somebody tries to kill you and you don't know who or why? Starring:
