(2000) In this two-part series, John Simm is the chillingly charming loan shark John Parlour: [Says John Simm,] "He's just the kind of character I enjoy playing - dark with an edge. The only difficult thing was trying to make people like him."
The tale is arguably writer Tony Marchant's (Holding On, Kid in the Corner, Great Expectations) darkest drama to date, and he describes it as about: "Poverty, debt, the things people do in desperation and how they come to regret it; what interests me are people's moral journeys."
Which is exactly what drew Simm to the role: "I want to do stuff that challenges me and that's got something to say. Tony Marchant knows what he's talking about, he's never condescending and his language is fantastic - he tells it like it is in a very serious way."
