FROM RICHARD ARMITAGE ONLINE
Fraud Squad Richard Armitage narrates a two part series for ITV1 called Fraud Squad. It follows the work of detectives in the City of London police's Fraud Squad as they investigate one of the largest share frauds ever seen in the UK.
The first part was shown on ITV1 on Friday 26th August, and is available for 30 days on ITV Player (UK visitors only). Part 2 will be broadcast on Friday 2nd September at 9pm. Or watch an excerpt on the Fraud Squad page on this site.
The series was favourably reviewed in the press. Previewing it in Time Out (25th-31st August) Phil Harrison wrote "This ITV two-parter sounds like it might belong to the 'motorway cops' school of dull, bathetic plod-TV. But it's a much more involving beast than that, co-opting the dynamics of a passable if generic thriller as scam artists responsible for frauds involving the sale of fake shares in non-existent companies are located, tracked and taken down."
A preview by Gerard O'Donovan in the Daily Telegraph (26th August) described it as "fascinating", while the same paper's review by Raf Sanchez (26th August) said "It opened with sweeping aerial shots of the City of London accompanied by a husky voiceover before cutting away to interviews with men in enormous ties in a chintzy modern office."
