A dreaded four-parter from Channel 5 is quite watchable despite plot holes (e.g. gangster going after the money without bringing any of his gang with him?). Amanda Abbington's son Jesse Cescatti-McFarlane gets into trouble with gangster Gábor Nagypál (a Mackenzie Crookalike) so she's forced to rob the bank where she works. Only thing is, ex Warren Browne double-crosses her. Luckily once useless-now useful dad Francis Magee turns up to help, whilst Sunetra Sarker is another bank employee who is sucked in.
Interesting that the credited 'creators' Mike Benson and Tim Dynevor didn't write it. What did they do?
It was filmed in Hungary - why? - with a largely Hungarian crew. No wonder in one shot I joked that we were in Moscow - it's actually Budapest.
