The con is on...
Hustle Aired From February 24, 2004 - February 17, 2012 On BBC One
Plot:
Hustle follows a group of London-based con artists as they attempt to dupe money out of their victims ("marks"). Despite their chosen trade, they adhere to codes such as "bad behaviour breeds bad luck". In particular they adhere to the first rule of the con "you can't cheat an honest man" because an honest man doesn't want something for nothing.
Each episode also amounts to a confidence game played upon the viewers through the use of misdirection and hidden plot details that are revealed at the end of the story. Not all cons depicted are successful, and some episodes focus on the characters dealing with the consequences of their actions. However, even if a con does fail, the characters usually come out on top in some way or other.
In addition to one long con, each episode features a number of short cons played by the major characters on members of the public. The short
cons demonstrate the seemingly endless array of tricks professional con men possess and the ease with which short cons can be played.
