Chancer

Nothing gets in his way, except his past.

In his breakout television role, multiple award winner Clive Owen stars as the talented, devious and utterly charming Derek ‘Dex’ Love – a City business analyst whose brilliant career, strategised under the pseudonym ‘Stephen Crane’, is stalked by a shady past. This complete-series release celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the first screening of Central’s acclaimed drama, revisiting the fast-paced and emotionally compelling scripts that made Chancer a such a critical success, brilliantly capturing the heady atmosphere – and the pitfalls – of the late ’80s and early ’90s’ financial free-for-all.

A high-calibre cast includes veteran actors Leslie Phillips and Peter Vaughan – as Love’s frequent adversary Thomas Franklyn – with Susannah Harker as his beautiful and equally capable girlfriend, Jo. Michael Kitchen, Tom Bell, Stephen Tompkinson and Louise Lombard also star in this stylish, edgy drama, complemented by Jan Hammer’s memorable theme.

This release comprises all 20 episodes of Chancer, digitally restored especially for this release.
