Doctor Who<\/a> star Christopher Eccleston as Fagin and David Threlfall (Shameless, Housewife) as the Chief of Police, Sir Charles Rowan.<\/p>\nThey are joined by Billy Jenkins as Dodger, and a host of colourful characters played by Rhys Thomas, who co-wrote the series, Saira Choudhry and Sam C Wilson.<\/p>
Dodger will follow the gang of pickpockets down on their luck, despite Fagin\u2019s efforts to keep them afloat and stay one step ahead of the police. Some of Dodger\u2019s schemes include acting in a haunted theatre, sneaking into Madame Tussauds, posing as a long-lost boy, printing their own dodgy money, a daring rescue from a hellish carnival, running the gauntlet with an obsessive Egyptologist and even breaking into Buckingham Place.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore you, I was just a boy who nicked stuff \u2013 now I\u2019m a legend,\u201d Dodger tells Fagin in the trailer, which you can watch below.<\/p>\n
