Synopsis

‘The Football Factory’ director Nick Love takes on the cult ’70s TV show. Based in the current day, it sees Ray Winstone leading the cast as the hardened police detective alongside Ben Drew (aka Plan B), Damian Lewis, Steven Mackintosh and Hayley Atwell. ‘EastEnders’ actress Kara Tointon also appears and Jeremy Clarkson is threatening to make a cameo in this car-friendly cop caper (the new ride’s a Ford Focus ST, if you’re at all interested).
