New BBC comedy drama The Invisibles stars Anthony Head and Warren Clarke as a pair of old ex criminal who come out of Spanish self-exile retirement to make a few more bob.

Also starring Dean Lennox Kelly and Jenny Agutter, the pair quickly find themselves drawn back into a life of crime, only to find that crime has moved on and they have got new things to learn.

“We are thrilled to have a new series from William Ivory on BBC One, which is both smart and very funny, and which has brought together a wonderful cast,” says Polly Hill, Commissioning Editor, BBC.

Series creator William Ivory says:

What do we say?
