I’ve begged, pleaded and begged some more for people to watch this show. It hasn’t gained a strong following in the SDMB which is fine, but I can at least celebrate that the BBC site confirms it will return for a fourth season! Whoopee!
I’m a Hustle fan, too! I’ve been wondering if there was going to be another season, so this is great news! Do you know when it will air here in the States?
Nothing that I can find yet, AMC carries them in the USA (for those who don’t know) and they are investors/producers in conjunction with the BBC. I managed to see the show on the BBC first and I much prefer it than the edited versions on AMC. That being said, edited Hustle is better than no Hustle.
We’ll see if I can turn anything up.
Ahh, I didn’t know we weren’t getting the full versions on AMC. Might give me an excuse to Netflix the DVDs and rewatch everything. Although I noticed that for Season 3 the episodes were 1 hr 15 min long (including commercials) as aired on AMC, an increase IIRC from seasons 1 & 2.
Wow, I haven’t been following any of the Hustle news. Adrian Lester will not be returning to the show for season 4!!! Holy crap! That being said, he has a bit part in Spiderman 3. Seems he left the show to move to the US Market fully.
“Ashely Walters” will be his replacement. Here is his imdb and a pic. Here’s hoping this works out, otherwise I’m going to be really disappointed.
And, in reading about this, I learned that Clive Owen turned down the role of Mickey Bricks before Adrian Lester got it, that could have been an interesting leading man…
As for the show lengths, even the season 3 episodes had small scenes cut. Usually inconsequential, but having seen the BBC ones multiple times, I caught them a few times.
