About this product

Product Information

Freddie Jackson (Tom Hardy) leaves prison in 1984, after serving 4 years for bank robbery. His loyal, if unstable, wife Jackie (Kierston Wareing) has waited for him on the outside, under the misguided impression that he wants to go straight. Freddie, however, is raring to get back into the game, keen on becoming king of the East End underworld. His cousin Jimmy (Shaun Evans) is hot on his heels and, with time, rises the ranks of the quickly expanding crime empire -- eventually eclipsing Freddie himself. Bitterness and jealously threaten close family-ties in the gripping 4-part drama THE TAKE, as loyalties are brought into question, trusts are betrayed, and violence ensues. In an era of new promises and possibilities, everyone it appears, is on the take.

The Stage - [C]lever, well written and impeccably performed. [...] told with a combination of economy, wit, style and uncompromising brutality, The Telegraph - Hardy[...] was perfectly cast as a charming, brooding brute.

Additional Information
Screenwriter Neil Biswas' (BRADFORD RIOTS) adaptation of Martina Cole's novel THE TAKE, spans 10 years of British socio-political change. The backdrop of the Thatcher era and its transition into the birth of New Labour, is particularly relevant to the drama's theme of idealised new beginnings; stemming from and resulting in a sense of disillusion.<BR><BR><BR>Freddie Jackson (Tom Hardy, BRONSON, ROCKNROLLA) leaves prison in 1984, after serving 4 years for bank robbery.

    The Take

    Great adult 4 part series, great performances from Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy. Did not watch this for a while after purchase and watched over 2 days , definitely worth the wait!! This is a story full of twisted choices by Freddie Tom Hardy's character and sad outcome for one of his sons. A must watch for any Tom or Charlotte fan!

    SUPER Crime Miniseries

    The series from Martina Cole’s best-selling crime thriller centers around an East End London crime family in the 1980s is one of the best British series. So powerful with great storyline and incredible performances. Tom Hardy - WOW - so exceptional, a disturbingly brilliant performance!

    Brilliant

    I read the book first then watch the TV series. I was glad when I found that it was on DVD so I could watch it again. The characters are great, Starring a young Tom Hardy, and his wife Charlotte Riley.

    Excellent gritty and down to earth.

    An excellent adaptation of the Martina Cole novel. A brilliant performance from Tom Hardy and a great supporting cast. If you like Martina Cole's work then this is a must see.
