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 ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my favourite BBC TV shows and it is still going strong on its' 5th season with more planned, despite casting issues behind the scenes. Hustle is set primarily in London and is about a group of con artists who frequently perform their specialised 'long cons'. However this particular group, led by the fictionally infamous ...  Read the complete review

When I saw that this was coming back to our screens this spring, I was delighted, but also in some ways a bit afraid of what may happen as they returned to the show after such a long break and the prospect of new characters was looming overhead also. But luckily all of my fears were put to rest, and they the show was a return to form, coming in ...  Read the complete review

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. Most scripts have been artistically crafted by the genius that is Tony ...  Read the complete review

Even after watching this for five series I still struggle to believe that this is shown on the BBC. For me, the BBC TV channels are normally full of rubbish (Match Of The Day excluded of course) so when I saw adverts for this show way back in 2004 I was sceptical of how good this was going to be. The cast has changed slightly over the ...  Read the complete review

Hustle is one of the better BBC drama series of the past few years. It's ingenious, funny, and often holds a plot very hard to guess at. It follows a gang of grifters, an elaborate con gang, whatever phrase you'd like to use - and drives you through a maze of "short" cons, all part of a "long con". These are the ...  Read the complete review

In last week's Hustle, another honourable con was carried out by the grifters, this time they wanted to teach 2 intellect property experts a lesson as they have stolen the intellectual property rights of a man and have driven him to commit suicide. Yes, con the bad guys, they deserved it. That's the rule of the game in Hustle, the BBC ...  Read the complete review

Really glad to see this programme returning to our screens - and hasn't been moved onto Sky!! This series has seen the return of Adrian Lester in the main role of Mickey. he was my favourite member of the cast and the last series really lacked his character I thought. He seems to encapsulate perfectly the "loveable rogue" ...  Read the complete review

So, Hustle is back and I for one have missed it! Hustle is a slick drama about a group of "grifters", which means con artists, who plan and carry out cons for large amounts of money. There are short cons which result in less money but take less time and effort and long cons which are what the group in Hustle specialise in. Long cons ...  Read the complete review

After endless repeats and lack of new material on The BBC, over the years I have often wondered what I pay my TV Licence for. Then I sit down to watch "Hustle", and can see where some of the money is going. The team behind the ever popular "Spooks" joined up with popular writer Tony Jordan, and produced this new drama in 2004. ...  Read the complete review

Hustle, perhaps the greatest drama to have ever come out of the BBC (at least in my opinion), follows the exciting lives of a group of con artists elegantly carrying out elaborately deceptive long-cons on well-deserving deceitful marks throughout London. Series one aired in 2004 and commanded an average audience of nearly 6 million from ...  Read the complete review
