Thick as Thieves
Bob Hoskins is George Dobbs; an out- of-luck, small-time burglar who has just finished a three - year jail sentence. After being released from prison one day earlier than expected, George makes his way home only to be greeted at the door by the sight of his best friend and fellow crook Stan (John Thaw - Home to Roost).
Not only is Stan at George’s house, but he is clearly very at home as he answers the door covered in shaving foam and wearing George’s pyjama bottoms.
It does not take a genius to see that Stan takes his role as best friend as far as comforting the missus while the husband’s away doing time.
However, Mrs. Dobbs (Pat Ashton - The Benny Hill Show) cannot make up her mind. Instead of punching the lights out of each other, the two men also agree to a strange, ménage a trois living arrangement. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.
Starring two of the best loved actors of British television John Thaw and Bob Hoskins, this ITV sitcom is the brainchild of the legendary team of Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais (Porridge, The Likely Lads). The result is this funny series that is sure to entertain.
Thick as Thieves is released 9th February.
