City
of Vice
The first cops – the first cop show.
City of Vice is an historical drama series about the vice-ridden world
of Georgian London. It features Henry and John Fielding – magistrates of
Westminster – the men who created the modern Police Force. Henry and John
are played by Ian McDiarmid and Iain Glenn respectively. They are London’s
first ‘cops’ – investigating the lives and crimes of prostitutes, pimps,
gamblers and villains (all of them real, researched people). Episodically,
we dramatize the true stories of real Georgian characters, while across
the series we tell the story of the evolution of the Police Force. Our
series will have all the excitement of a contemporary crime series, but
will be interlaced with fascinating revelations about the reality of life
in seventeenth century London.
