Top Boy Premieres on Channel 4 on October 31, 2011
A thrilling and raw four-part drama about young lives lived on the edge in east London - an honest and gripping rendition of inner-city drug and gang culture
Top Boy is a drama series which follows young gang members living in east London. Dushane, is a 19-year-old who runs a street gang in the racially mixed Summerhouse estate in Hackney and he has plans to move into drug dealing. The series is written by Ronan Bennett.
Having their stash of drugs stolen by the rival gang was unfortunate because they still have to pay the debt of £2,000 to their boss and you can understand why Lisa said she had no kids when she was sectioned because she is unable to cope and she was scared that her 13-year-old son Ra'Nell will be taken into care Author: codebreaker Time: 11-6-2011 00:35 Subject: 1x02 Episode 2
Getting robbed a second time was just careless considering what they are dealing with and after accidentally killing the guy's cousin should make thing interesting but sad that Ra'Nell missed his mom on her day release from hospital Author: bala Time: 11-6-2011 00:42 Subject: Gun murder at funeral could have been copied from TV's Top Boy
A GUN murder at a teenager’s funeral could have been copied from Channel 4 gangster drama Top Boy.
Ronnie Khan, 21, was shot dead at close range in front of 200 mourners on Thursday afternoon. Just 24 hours earlier, a scene on Top Boy featured a mob staking out a memorial to a murdered rival.
Police sources said the real killing was related to violence between two gangs in Brixton and Peckham, South London.
Top Boy, screened on four nights this week, portrayed gang culture on a fictional East London estate.
And young Twitter users went online to claim there was a direct link between the two. One wrote: “Look at what top boy has done 1 person dead 1 seriously wounded in a funeral, its total madness.” Another said: “Why r people imitating #topboy someone just died at a funeral.”
Well if we all copied what we watched on TV what a sorry state the world would be in, it could be a bank robbery or stealing a car or the lowest of them all mugging a pensioner but trying to blame it on TV is a cop out

What they did to the dog was tragic but it must of been one of his friends who told them where he hides the dog when he is at school and killing to get their drugs back was inevitable Author: codebreaker Time: 11-6-2011 03:37 Subject: 1x04 Episode 4
Ra'Nell deciding to negotiate directly with Dushane over the price of Heather's crop was the worst thing he could do and now with Sully killing again just to steal the weed that Dushane agreed to pay for so selling Sully out to protect himself i thought was inevitable but i didn't expect him to kill another himself and paying for Heather's crop was nice considering she has just had a baby Author: codebreaker Time: 8-15-2013 13:42
The naked guy walking into the hairdressers was bizarre but chasing him out with the broom was amusing and Dushane's new solicitor was impressive Author: codebreaker Time: 8-25-2013 15:56
I can't believe how cocky and lucky the phone thief kid was being caught only to escape again but shouting his mouth off is bound to backfire sooner or later Author: codebreaker Time: 9-4-2013 04:32 Subject: 2x03 Episode 3
Chopping the hand off was a shock and so much for showing he's a man after the shopkeeper stopped him but the witness to Kamale's murder is going to make things interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 9-11-2013 05:55 Subject: 2x04 Episode 4
Dushane should be worried now as the police have increase the pressure on Kayla to force her to talk or face charges of perverting the course of justice but going after her child as leverage cruel and throwing him of the balcony because he warned Dushane was tragic
