LatestA criminal 'friend' has the key to Miami's safe and he wants it back. This is hampered by the fact that said criminal has been caught by the police and is now in jail. Miami arranges it so that Lee, Bacon and Jamie end up in the same prison and tells them that unless they get the key for him he will make sure that the trumped up charges he arranged for Barbie to file that put them there, will be made to stick. If they can get the key then Barbie will drop all the charges and they will go free.
Lock, Stock... was a 2000 television series off-shoot from the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The series was shown on Channel 4 and starred Ralph Brown, Daniel Caltagirone, Del Synnott, Scott Maslen and Shaun Parkes. Lock, Stock... was Ginger Productions' first commission. The show prominently featured the rhyming slang of London's East End, making it harder for some viewers to comprehend.
Writing
Dialogue so thick you'll need a translator and a pint
Production
Ginger Productions' chaotic debut that punched above its weight
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series leaned so hard into authentic East End dialect that Channel 4 reportedly fielded complaints from viewers who couldn't understand a word.
Shaun Parkes reprised his 'Bacon' role from the film, making him one of the few actors to bridge both versions—though the show's Miami Vice was a new creation, not the film's Big Chris.
