This show regularly gets confused with 'the real hustle' the difference being 'the real hustle' is a reality show which goes out into the publlic , and the review I am writing is on 'Hustle' which id a drama usually broadcast on BBC 1 but I have also seen it broadcast on another freeview channel. The show has been going strong for 5 seasons now and it is about a group of hustlers who always target either the corrupt , smug or just filthy rich .It is mainly set in the city of London where many of the 'big money people' are associated with .

After five years and five series, Hustle has a cult following and viewing figures of over 5.5 million per episode. This is a show without equal, a BBC Drama heavily laced with humour which moves along at a lightning pace and keeps you guessing 'til the very end.

The long con involves targeting a "mark" ...  Read the complete review
