About This Program ✦
Mac's Back is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of an episode‑type show, offering a brief, self‑contained story rather than a longer series. The central narrative follows Thomas, who is taken aback when he meets his former friend Mac. Thomas had been led to believe that Mac had perished in a car explosion, yet the man standing before him is very much alive. Thomas’s reaction is one of genuine astonishment; the shock of seeing someone presumed dead is entirely understandable. The encounter forces him to reconcile the memory of Mac’s supposed demise with the reality of his presence. Adding to the surprise, Mac is now serving as a chaplain in the Royal Navy. This new role contrasts sharply with the tragic end Thomas had imagined for his friend, underscoring the unexpected turn in Mac’s life.
