Unexpectedly sprung from prison before his sentence was up, former getaway driver Len Green (Pete Postlethwaite) was determined to leave his life of crime behind by accepting a position with the undertaking firm run by his Uncle Irwin (Frank Finlay). Alas, in each subsequent 50-minute episode of the British miniseries The Sins, Len's resolve is sorely tested by a variety of temptations, all of them linked to the Seven Deadly Sins of old. Making matters worse, Len was being nagged to return to his old gang, while his Gloria (Geraldine James), unaccustomed to living in poverty, had herself turned to thievery to make ends meet. The seven-episode The Sins was originally telecast by BBC1 beginning October 24, 2000.
An unlikely group of misfits, The City Watch, are forced to find the guts to save the world, surprising even themselves in the process. The comedic yet thrilling series pits trolls, werewolves, wizards and other improbable heroes against an evil plot to resurrect a great dragon which would lead to the destruction of life as they know it.
