Russian Money

Episode 1 of 4

When working-class Tony falls in love with upper middle-class Imogen, their sons are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.

New sitcom series starring Radio 4 favourite Mark Steel (Mark Steel鈥檚 In Town, The News Quiz), Claire Skinner (Outnumbered), Elliot Steel and Ivo Graham.

When Tony (Mark Steel), a working class, left-wing South Londoner, falls in love and moves in with Imogen (Claire Skinner), an upper middle class property developer, their sons - disenfranchised Croydon rude boy Ashley (Elliot Steel) and Oxbridge-educated crypto currency king Gideon (Ivo Graham) - are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.

In this episode, Ashley starts a job on a building site, Gideon becomes an activist, Imogen is closing in on a big deal, and Tony, desperate for a story to appease his publisher, decides to investigate a new housing development with possible links to Russian money.
