The complete first and second series of the thriller following a group of 40-something men who inadvertently become involved in crime. In the first series, Baxter (John Simm), Rick (Marc Warren), Woody (Max Beesley) and Quinn (Philip Glenister) go on holiday to Majorca where they meet their wealthy friend, Alvo (Ben Chaplin), who has gone into early retirement. It soon becomes clear that Alvo is mentally unstable and, when he steals a boat, the situation gets quickly out of hand. They soon find themselves caught up in a web of corruption involving murder and millions of euros in drug money. In the second series, the friends leave Majorca with the drug money and find themselves in Ibiza after boarding the wrong ferry where they decide to start a new life. Rick suggests they gamble the tainted money in order to get clean notes but they soon realise they have made a new enemy when their rental car blows up. Will they be able to survive another troublesome situation and find the new life they are hoping for?
Scathing black comedy about love, sex, family, murder, incest and revenge, based on the 17th-century play by Shakespeare contemporary Thomas Middleton and transposed by subversive British director Alex Cox to a post-apocalyptic Liverpool. After ten years in hiding, Vindici (Christopher Eccleston) returns to destroy the Duke (Derek Jacobi) who murdered Vindici's wife on their wedding day. During his absence, Vindici's family fell into poverty - while the Duke, Duchess and their decadent sons acquired wealth and power, ruling over their court obsessed with transient beauty, money, inherited privilege and power. Determined to exact his revenge, Vindici sets out to gain the confidence of the Duke and his villainous heir, Lussurioso (Eddie Izzard). The film was screened at the 2002 Locarno Film Festival.
Darkly comic modern-day morality fable set in Green Lanes, North London. When Roadrunner (Daon Broni), an errand boy for local small time crook Mr Karva (James Cosmo, quite literally stumbles across a young abandoned child, he believes he has discovered an angel. Like an oracle, the silent child seems to be able to tell the future and fulfil people's innermost dreams. Karva's stepson Othello (David Leon) uses him to win bets - but soon everyone wants a piece of the action and father is pitted against son, friend against friend, as greed and lust for power spiral out of control.
