Revision as of 10:37, 25 February 2006
Hustle is a British television drama series made by Kudos Film & Television for BBC One. It follows a group of London-based con artists as they attempt to dupe money out of their victims, or marks. They only con those who they feel deserve it, citing the (sometimes) first rule of the con, "You can never cheat an honest man" (or woman).
The series frequently breaks the fourth wall or uses cutaway scenes shot in a different style to the rest of the show.
The first 6-part series was originally broadcast in February and March 2004, and a second six-part series began on 29th March 2005 and ran through April into May 2005. The third series will begin March 10, 2006. In October 2005 it was announced that the BBC had sold United States screening rights for the first two series to cable television station AMC, who has also joined as a production partner for the third run.
