Six part Channel 4 drama, broadcast once in UK and then later shown in Australia. No video or DVD version ever released, but it is available on the Channel 4 catch-up site 4oD - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/underworld/4od . A very very funny comedy thriller with a logic entirely of its own - nothing is ever predictable as the plot twists and turns, and just when you think you've understood what's happening, it throws a grenade or two into the storyline. Very highly recommended for anyone who can get the chance to see it. Written and produced by Andy Hamilton who often appears on "Have I Got News For You" and his surreal humour is very apparent here. He has a couple of cameo appearances in ep2 and later with his flat cap: My copy comes from a variety of sources - I think taped original broadcasts in both UK and Aus - so quality not the best and ratios fluctuate between eps. So going for main captures rather than everything possible, and trying to get identifiable pictures for registrations and details. First 5 episodes were 50 minutes, ep6 1 hour 20 minutes so has longer timings for some entries. -- Last edit: 2013-05-20 21:20:13 |

Postscript: during ep6 at 30'35" there's a sequence inside one of the Jag XJs as they're driving along. A silver-blue BMW 3.0 CSL [E9] with plated arch extensions passes on the left and then turns right behind them in the distance. These are the best captures I could get: I'd have loved it to have a page, but the b**kgr**d filtering device kicked in. |

Series has surfaced on youtube here - definitely worth catching. |
