He Kills Coppers is an adaptation of Jake Arnott's cult novel and the follow up to his critically acclaimed The Long Firm. With an all-star cast, including Rafe Spall (Hot Fuzz, A Room With A View), Kelly Reilly (Joe’s Palace, Mrs Henderson Presents) and Maureen Lipman (Sensitive Skin), this major ITV three-part drama is set over several decades, kicking off in 60s Soho and concluding in the greedy capitalism of the Thatcherite era.
August 1966: the long hot summer of World Cup euphoria is suddenly shattered by the brutal slaying of three policemen. The fates of a detective, a journalist and a villain are irrevocably bound up with this shocking event.
For Frank Taylor (Rafe Spall), a Detective Sergeant on the Met’s fast track, it’s the death of his best friend which must be avenged. It is also a moment for which he will endure a lifetime of guilt; a death which might have been avoided had Frank not been so concerned with the advancement of his own career.
For Tony Meehan (Steven Robertson), an ambitious journalist and one of the first on the scene, it is more than a career making front page scoop; the slaughter he witnesses awakens a violent impulse within him and finding the perpetrator becomes an all consuming twenty year obsession.
For Billy Porter (Mel Raido), war-time hero turned petty thief, it’s a plan that went fatally wrong; a gratuitous act of violence from which he must spend two decades running.
We have five copies of the DVD to give away. For your chance to win simply answer the following question:
Which TV show did Kelly Reilly make her professional debut in?
