Show Notes
The Outlaws (Series 1 Episode 1)
The Outlaws follows seven strangers from different walks of life forced together to complete Community Payback sentences in Bristol.
At first, they seem like archetypes we can easily pigeon hole but gradually we see behind their façades, understand their hidden depths and what made them the people they are today. We are reminded that no one is all good or all bad. Everyone has a story.
As their unlikely new friendships intersect with their complicated private lives, the offenders must unite to protect one of their own from Bristol's most dangerous criminal gang. The show is part crime thriller, character study, and a state-of-the-nation commentary - with humour and heart.
Written by Stephen Merchant, Elgin James, Geoff Norcott, Fraser Steele, Will Truefitt, Chris Hale and Ross Willis Produced by Nickie Sault, Stephen Merchant, Luke Alkin, Kenton Allen, Matthew Justice, Rhodri Thomas, Kate Daughton, Tanya Qureshi and more Directed By Stephen Merchant, John Butler, Toby Sherborne and Jake Rollins A bigtalk / Four Eyes co-production for BBC.
