Five and Twenty Ponies
The Characters
The Carters — Played by John, Andy& Dave
Based on an actual smuggling gang, "The Kings of Prussia Cove ", the Carters operated out of Prussia Cove in Cornwall, and had an empire that stretched over three counties.
In this scenario the Carters came from a poor fishing family. Their father, David Carter, started the family "Business" some 20 years before to ensure his family's future and prosperity. While he was by no means alone in pursuing this trade, it was the county's close geographical and cultural ties with the French ports that gave him and others like him a unique advantage. Therefore, their father had all the necessary credentials for exploiting this dangerous but lucrative activity. Since his death, some five years before, the three brothers had taken over the business and doubled it in size, taking full advantage of the fact that the revenue were thin on the ground because of the war that the British Government was waging with France.
