Warren Clarke, Anthony Head, Dean Lennox Kelly and Jenny Agutter star in William Ivory’s new comedy drama series.
Syd Woolsey and Maurice Riley are old friends who return from the good life on the Costa del Crime, where they have spent their
ill-gotten gains, to a quiet Devon fishing village, planning to eke out their retirement fishing and availing themselves of the NHS. However, the quiet life is not for them and, with money running short, they quickly find themselves drawn back into a life of crime – only to find that crime has moved on and they’ve got new things to learn.
In the opening episode, Maurice is determined to keep his promise to his wife, Barbara, and not return to crime, but Syd’s son, Joe, is in trouble and the only way they can help bail him out is to rob again. With the help of Hedley, son of their old – now deceased – colleague Vernon, the boys try one last job. Or so they say…
