As if their intense, squabbling mid-life crises weren't already enough, the previous mixture of sun-baked Spanish mayhem and murder that our four "heroes" of SKY 1's hit black comedy/drama MAD DOGS have so far suffered seem like small change compared to what's happened to them now: framed by a British ex-patriot crime lord, captured by Moroccan security police and sent to the gulag from hell - MIDNIGHT EXPRESS meets year three of PRISON BREAK- where they have to find some way of escape and get home to the imperfect but now truly desirable confines of England.
Like little boys out of their league within the prisons dilapidated frame, and the dangerous felons that inhabit it, our dysfunctional brotherhood of stars John Simm, Philip Glenister, Marc Warren and Max Beesley look set to collide, comfort and blunder into the problems ahead, and provide a few laugh out loud moments along the way. Guest starring still rising star Jaime Winstone (daughter of Ray) as Mercedes, one of the other trapped and desperate inmates, she's one of the few un-bloodthirsty types who may help the quartet, though likely with an agenda of her own- let's face it, these guys don't really have much luck in picking friends, do they? There's hopes that this new four-part season, once again written by creator Cris Cole, will be a big improvement over season two, which started well and had a good baddie in David Warner, yet incredulously run out of plot by the end of episode two. Series Three airs in desert sweltering, reach for the bottled water HD from June 4th.
