Carlton Television, the folks behind British shows like
Footballers' Wives and
Girls Behaving Badly, is the production company for ITV's program
The Vice. What's the show like?
The gripping police TV series peeks into the darkest, sleaziest corners of British society as the team led by D.I. Chappel aims to uncover the very worst criminals dealing in prostitution and pornography in the London sex trade.
If you're looking for some lurid drama, this is it! The program first begun airing in 1999, as a police procedural show mixed in with a soap-opera style look at the personal lives of the main characters. Ken Stott, most recently seen as the title character of the U.K.'s program
Rebus, stars as Detective Inspector Pat Chappel.
