We speak to the Scottish actor about the new BBC drama, which covers the aftermath of the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983
movie or TV show, even more so when it's based on a getaway that actually, somehow, happened. So it's no surprise that the story of the Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983, one of the largest criminal hauls in British history, has been plundered by different screenwriters and documentary makers for over three decades.the heist involved six men who aimed to steal the equivalent of £3.
A lot of the series focuses on the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, and the inequality between different classes. Did you find that prescient now, as the wealth and poverty gap grows even wider? The word ‘villain’ is bandied about in the show. There’s a great monologue from Kenneth at the end of episode one where he makes a power grab, saying: “I can be a king!” Do you think Kenneth saw himself as a villain, or a working class hero?
, I was obsessed with that kind of South London accent. I had brilliant help on the show, and also I find Cockney a lot easier to do than RP, which as an actor you’re constantly asked to do.I think this one is a bit different because the heist is really dealt with in the opening, and it’s more about the effect of who stole that amount and how it all rippled out.
