And Mickey Stone (Adrian Lester) has left the show to be replaced by Ashley Walters (So Solid Crew) playing Billy Bond.

The first and last episodes were filmed in LA. The first is starring Robert Wagner as a Texan Movie Memorbillia fanactic.

Starts on BBC in around 2 weeks time I believe.

(Lets hope its better than the appaling series 3 first episode with Mel Smith)

He was fine in Bullet Boy, he has done up to 27 film/tv roles to date. I think the show needed a change/direction.

Bullet Boy was a class film, in my view.

Looking forward to series 4 as i like this show - good fun.

Plus they make London look like such a cool place to live and work. Far better than the reality...

[kaizer]

take away the main character & the show will die on it's arse.

Adrian Lester should have at least filmed a little bit to explain his absense.

[PAH]

At least they're not trying to convince us that the new guy is really the old guy after leaving for Australia and coming back, as seen on many a soap. That was my initial fear after hearing about who was taking mickey stone's place as he also happens to be black. Hope the show remains as good as it was in previous series. Looking forward to it's return.

Noticed how ITV have tried to rip-off the idea with Diamond Geezer? Still it's a welcome change from all the reality/celebrity crap ITV have been forcing upon us.

New boss Danny is out to prove himself and talks them into a scam, which might prove to be way over their heads.

Hustle - Episode 2
Drama series about a team of con artists. Back in the UK, Danny is convinced the team needs a new grifter and begins interviews, but the candidates aren't quite what the rest of the team are expecting. Dickie Brennan, a ruthless porn baron, is keen to own a prize-winning horse and the gang of con artists are willing to oblige, despite knowing nothing about horses. While all this is going on, will anyone take any notice of Billy Bond, who'll stop at nothing to join the gang?

Just watched the first 3* episodes. Hustle is truly one of the best programs around.

*S04E03 was aired in the US Bit cheeky int it, filmed here, produced here. But they get it first?

[ash]

Yeah, annoying that it gets released in USA first.

[Singh400]

Just watched S04E05. One of the best episodes of the whole series in my opinion! Danny doing the martial arts was hilarious! Then when it cut back to him daydreaming!
