Part 2: Ruby's Story. Ruby Ryder is a struggling actress who finds herself in financial difficulties when her husband is jailed for robbery. Harry Starks turns up on her doorstep and promises to look after her, so when he turns the club into an erotic revue, he employs her to choreograph the strip shows and liaise with the corrupt Inspector Mooney over the porn racket. However, things start to get complicated when Ruby takes a shine to Harry's latest plaything, Tommy... Starring Mark Strong, Lena Headey, Joe Absolom, George Costigan, Christopher Simon, Neil Conrich, Geoff Bell, Tracie Bennett, Tim Flavin, John Chancer, Diana Brooks, Sidney Kean, Eve Schickle and Charlie Baker. This was an acclaimed 4 part series, adapted from the novel by Jake Arnott. It earned rave notices from critics for Mark Strong, as well as for former Coronation Street actress Tracie Bennett for her appearance as Judy Garland. I'm not much for gangster dramas, but this is enjoyable and compelling viewing and with a great theme tune. Please note that this contains swearing, violence, sex scenes and nudity.
