NEW CRIME DRAMA

Stan Lee’s Lucky man

Friday, Sky One Hd, 9pm

TV&Satellite Week is on location in Hong Kong. Well, we’re actually in a former London art college which is doubling as a Far East underworld lair – the setting for a heart-stopping stand-off in the fantasy crime drama Stan Lee’s Lucky Man.

The tense scene finds troubled cop DI HarryClayton, played by James Nesbitt, encountering his newest and toughest nemesis to date, twisted Samuel Blake, played by Rupert Penry-Jones. As we watch doors being kicked open and guns being fired, who will make it out alive?

The third series of the drama, created by comic book maestro Stan Lee, opens with Harry heading to Hong Kong – where part of the show was filmed – on the trail of his friend Eve (Sienna Guillory), who has been accused of killing a Triad member.
