Das SerienSprechzimmer for A TOWN CALLED MALICE: Interview with Martha Plimpton & Eliza Butterworth

A TOWN CALLED MALICE: A family of crooks from London
absconds to Spain's Costa del Sol in the early 1980s





Gene Lord (Jack Rowan) flees to Spain in the early '80s with his
girlfriend Cindy (Tahirah Sharif) to avoid arrest. The two
quickly find themselves in the local underworld, and when the
other Lords join them on the Costa del Sol, the crime family
recognizes the opportunity: in the sunny south, they scent a
whole new lucrative business that promises a golden future.





Pulsating 80s soundtrack





The eight-part Sky Original series is a mix of crime thriller and
family saga, accompanied by a pulsating 80s soundtrack. Nick Love
is creator and head writer of A TOWN CALLED MALICE. The film was
directed by Jamie Donoughue. The title A TOWN CALLED MALICE
refers to the song of the same name by the British band "The
Jam." It reached number one on the British singles chart in
February 1982.
