[TV] A Town Called Malice

[Is it PotG?]

Sky has announced new thriller, A Town Called Malice, in turns an explosive family saga, thriller and crime drama.

Set among the beach clubs and palm trees of the Costa del Sol in the early 80s, A Town Called Malice follows the Lords, a crime family of petty thieves from South London, as they decamp from London to Spain to profit from an unexpected windfall – and to escape the attention of the police in a high-profile murder enquiry.

The Lord family is headed up by Jason Flemyng as Albert Lord, Jack Rowan as Gene Lord, Tahirah Sharif as Cindy Carter, Gean’s girlfriend, and Martha Plimpton as Mint Ma.

I used to enjoy these types of thriller, but I'm different now.

The Jam is one thing just about every NSCer can have a love in over. All of us of an age loved them. The only question is their best track.

If there are any absolute beginners who haven't heard of them, take a look. You miss these things when you're young.

FACTIOD OF THE DAY:

Paul wrote 'Town called Malice' after coming home drunk from the pub one night in less than an hour

Done deal.

Although having looked it up it may be another song.

Either way, I think we can all agree he is one of the best songwriters of our time.

I can help with that.

Who said anything about going underground?

I used to come home from juniors for lunch on Tuesday and listen to the top five. I remember my brother telling me that Going Underground had gone straight in at number one. I refused to believe him as I had never known such an event. Slade, I think, had done so seven years previous but that was before my time.

I think we all bought that one.

The only question is their best track.

Difficult question, I wouldn’t actually say I’ve got a favourite track by The Jam, far too many good ones to choose.

Quite. Although if pushed, I think 'Town called Malice' might get my vote. But 'Down in a Tube Station' is awesome too. It's easy to forget that Paul was a teenager when he wrote that.
