The con is on…

WARNING!
In Hustle Series 3 Episode 2 there is a two minute segment in which two of the male leads are nude and running around London. Unfortunately, this scene is essential to the program story line and would be nearly impossible to edit out. Please DO NOT run this episode without having screened. We have blurred as best we can.

You are about to enter a world where the good guys can be very bad.

From the makers of BAFTA-winning Spooks comes a slick, action-packed
drama full of humour and intrigue. Hustle follows the fortunes of a gang
of five expert con artists let loose on the streets of London.They are
specialists in the ways of the grifter and all are keen to liberate cash from
the amoral and undeserving. Mickey Stone is fresh out of jail. His marriage is on the rocks, but he has a strong family to fall back on. That family – Albert and Ash, two oldtimers who look like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths; and beautiful, street-sharp Stacie – are his partners in crime.

Coming together to perform one last con, they hook up with young blood Danny Blue, a rookie with the makings of a master. But after the first
last one, there have just got to be more. And so they begin. A greedy
businessman is tempted into gambling on the stockmarket for a promised
huge return; an art dealer, desperate to own a newly discovered painting is cornered into buying a fake; a violent casino boss is seduced into funding a fictitious film. But the hustlers always keep in mind that they have a means to an end: ever-conscious of the bad luck that can jinx people in this business they avoid the trap of greed– and even do right by those who have lost at their hands in the past.

Criminals with consciences, playing tricks with trust, the hustlers are
likeable, lovable rogues evoking the wit and warmth of Ocean’s Eleven.
Their first rule of law: you can’t con an honest man.
