Product Description
Oscar-nominated Clive Owen (Chancer, Closer) brings a brooding intensity to the role of private detective Nick Sharman in this stylish drama based on the best-selling novels by Mark Timlin. Blending classic noir elements with hard-hitting '90s realism and explosive action, Sharman consolidated Clive Owen's remarkable success and helped pave the way to Hollywood superstardom. The series features rapidly paced storylines from, among others, Tony Hoare (The Sweeney, Minder) and the award-winning Paul Abbott (Shameless, Touching Evil); Samantha Janus, Keith Allen, Gina Bellman, Ray Winstone and Bill Paterson are among the guest stars. This release contains the complete series, originally aired in 1996, and pilot episode The Turnaround from 1995.
Nick Sharman is a disillusioned, down-at-heel private investigator. An instinctive loner with a shady past, he can also be charming, quick-witted, determined and, despite his faults, he has an undeniable attraction for many of the women he encounters. Although his line of work seemed a natural choice after his promising Metropolitan Police career fell apart, it is starting to feel like a dead end. But in the shadowy world of private investigation there will always be unfinished business, and Nick's natural ability to blend in with South London's lowlife - combined with his occasional recklessness - makes him invaluable in cases that less streetwise professionals would normally refuse to touch. For Nick Sharman, there is often very little choice...

after years of waiting as previously only turnaround on VHS avaliable but now clive owen as Sharman for the other 4 episodes, great cast were many have gone onto greater things eg Keith Allen, Ray winstone and obviously Clive Owen. loosley based on the books by Mark Timlin the discs are straight from TV as gaps for ads frequent, would of been better if edited out but still very enjoyable as very dark and moody. READ THE BOOKS VERY GOOD.

I bought this as something to watch when there was nothing else on..suprisingly ive enjoyed it for something made 15 years ago..Owen does a good job in the role as an ex copper falsly accused of corruption so if its a boring night on tv slam this in and give it a viewing it`ll kill some time before you go to bed or down the pub
