Inside Men

''Inside Men'' is a British television drama series, consisting of four episodes, transmitted from 2 to 23 February 2012 on BBC One. The series was filmed in Bristol between June and August 2011, with filming taking place over a 10-week period. On 9 March 2012 it was reported the series would not be returning for a second run, being a one-off drama.

Plot

The serial was written by Tony Basgallop. It follows the story of an armed robbery at a secure money counting house in Bristol, the events that lead up to it, characters who work there and the aftermath. It begins with a depiction of the brutal robbery and then explores the motivations of those who committed the crime. The three main characters are John Coniston ( Steven Mackintosh), who is the seemingly straightlaced manager of the secure depot; Marcus ( Warren Brown), who moves trolleys of cash; and security guard Chris (Ashley Walters).

Critical reception

Andrew Pettie of '' The Telegraph'' said of the opening episode; " Steven Mackintosh is the most ordinary actor I have ever seen. Even now, not two hours after watching him play the lead role in ''Inside Men'', I can scarcely remember what he looks like. There is something about his neat features and office-worker pallor that makes Mackintosh both vaguely familiar and instantly forgettable. I can’t think of anyone better at playing nobody in particular."
