The Club of Queer Trades

2005 BBC dramatisation of the G.K. Chesterton stories
from archive.org

Each story in the series is centred on a person who is making a living by some novel or extraordinary means (a "queer trade", using the word "queer" in the sense of "peculiar"). To gain admittance to the club one must have invented a unique means of earning a living and the subsequent trade being the main source of income.
