Paul Popplewell on guard for BBC1’s Inside Men
January 29, 2012
Paul Popplewell stars in the new four-part drama series,
Inside Men, on
BBC1.
The series charts the tale of three security depot employees, who plan and execute a £15 million cash heist. Paul plays the role of Tom, the only security guard standing between them and the money.
The series also features
Cornell John, who makes a guest appearance as Sid Lejeune, a violent prison inmate.
Inside Men is told entirely from the perspective of the perpetrators planning the heist, offering a fascinating glimpse into the criminal psyche and challenges the viewer to question their motives, asking whether some people are intrinsically bad, or merely opportunistic?
Ben Stephenson, controller of drama commissioning at the BBC, said: 'The fine cast reveal what motivates them in a thrilling BBC One story about power and greed in society today.'
Inside Men starts on Wednesday 2nd February on BBC 1 at 9:00pm.
