I hope this lives up to expectations. Writer, creator and co-producer Ronan Bennett's new four-part drama "Top Boy" Is almost about to be aired on Channel 4 the first trailer has been popping up all over Ch 4, so the countdown has officially started with promo in full effect. Ronan Bennet is a critically-acclaimed novelist and screenwriter for film and television. He has written Fields of Gold, Love Lies Bleeding and Rebel Heart, and his films include Public Enemies, Lucky Break and Face. The drama features well known faces from our UK scene such as Ashley Walters (Asher D), Kane Robinson (Knao), Tayo 'Scorcher' Jarrett and others. Its about people living on the edge in east London emerged in the inner city drug and gang culture that you can find in any underworld of any gritty city. I'm not going to say too much right now, as everybody else is doing more than their fair share of gassing and comparing. But I will be doing follow up posts as the first episode gets closer. Four parts doesn't seem long enough but that leaves open doors and plenty of room for more. So let's see if it's truly a top boy or just another waste man.
