The season opener was a non-stop hurdle race. But this second episode cuts back on the obstacles and uses the extra time to introduce new boy Billy Bond (Ashly Walters); the result is in an episode that goes down as smoothly as honey, rather than getting stuck in your craw.
Billy's entry into the team may "ring a few bells", especially for poor old Danny (Marc Warren), who struggles to formulate a plan ("We'll sell him...a horse.") However, the script is so full of laughs that Danny's inepitude doesn't hamstring it. (And Danny’s gradual blossoming into the leader could be one of the joys of the series.) Plus, Jamie Foreman delivers a fantastic turn as a porn baron with more slobber than Jabba the Hutt.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Back on their home turf, the gang set about getting back to business as usual - playing the long con. Porn czar Dickie Brennan has his eye set on owning a prize-winning horse and his ruthless ways make him confident that he'll get what he wants. Of course, the Hustle crew are more than willing to lend a hand, even though they know nothing about horses.
Meanwhile, Danny is focused on finding a new grifter to complete the team and begins interviews. Billy Bond isn't giving up on getting noticed and will stop at nothing to joing the gang even though Danny has his heart set on a pretty lady member.moreless
