THE INVISIBLES

Maurice Riley (Anthony Head, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Syd Woolsey (Warren Clarke, Poldark), are "The Invisibles", a team of retired master burglars. After a string of successful crimes during the 1980s - during which they were never apprehended or identified by the authorities - they retired with their wives to the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Now older, they give in to homesickness and return to England, settling in a quiet fishing village. They still have enough money to support themselves comfortably (though not as extravagantly as they might be used to). Circumstances, however, conspire to pull them back to a life of crime. Early capers prove to them that security technology and the brutality of the criminal life have changed dramatically in two decades, and they've lost their edge as well. But the excitement is undeniable, and they try to make a go of it. (2008, 6 EPS)
