Lock, Stock...

Lock, Stock... is a seven-episode British television crime drama that aired on Channel 4. It was co-written and created by Guy Ritchie as a spin-off from his 1998 film *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels*. The series premiered on 29 May 2000 with a feature-length pilot titled *Lock, Stock and Four Stolen Hooves*. The story follows four close friends—Moon, Jamie, Bacon, and Lee—who run a London pub called The Lock. Each episode sees them try a new business scheme, with comedic mishaps following. The main cast includes Daniel Caltagirone, Del Synnott, Scott Maslen, and Shaun Parkes as the friends, with Ralph Brown playing local gang boss Miami Vice.

The series was the first television commission for Ginger Productions. It made heavy use of East End rhyming slang, which made it difficult for some audiences to follow. In Australia, it first aired in 2001 on ABC. Portugal saw it in 2005 on cable channel SIC Radical, and Germany in 2011 on RTL Crime under the title *Bube, Dame, König, grAS*—the same German title used for *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels*.

A soundtrack album with music from the series was released on 9 June 2000 by Virgin Records. The complete series came out on DVD for Region 2 via Universal Studios on 4 December 2000, and later in Australia for Region 4 by Siren Visual Entertainment. It is also available as a box-set on iTunes.

The main cast includes Ralph Brown as Miami Vice, Daniel Caltagirone as Moon, Scott Maslen as Jamie, Shaun Parkes as Bacon, Del Synnott as Lee, Christopher Adamson as Three Feet, Lorraine Chase as Barbie, and Lisa Rogers as Tanya. Recurring roles feature Mario Kalli as Kouros, George Antoni as Nefarious, Martin Freeman as Jaap, Chris Rowe as Johan, Nicki Grosse as Laura, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jordi, Nick Brimble as Uncle Derek, and Ian Brimble as Uncle Brian.
