The Scottish Mail on Sunday

Totally bonkers social satire

-

In the fictional northern town of Hawley, a gang of roguish petty criminals is constantly ‘on the rob’, planning the next scam and doing its worst to avoid responsibi­lity and adulthood. This boisterous, bonkers and often brilliant comedy from Joe Gilgun (This Is England) and Danny Brocklehur­st (Clocking Off) comes on like a rural Shameless with its mix of bighearted scallies and their crude antics. Throw in meaty parts for Michelle Keegan and Dominic West (and John Thomson in newly released series two) and you’ve got Sky’s biggest comedy hit in years. Sky/NOW TV, available now
