The Smoke (TV Series)

TV Series (2014). 8 Episodes. Jamie Bamber (Law & Order UK, Battlestar Galactica) and Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch) head up our exciting new firefighter drama The Smoke. Written by Lucy Kirkwood (Skins), the eight-part series follows the high-adrenaline adventures of White Watch, a team of London firefighters. Leading the crew is Kev (Bamber), a good man injured and betrayed during the worst fire of his career. Standing by Kev's side as he returns to work is his gutsy girlfriend Trish (Whittaker) and his cocksure friend and fellow firefighter Mal (Rhashan Stone). Other members of the crew include the fearless Ziggy (Pippa Bennett-Warner) and the mysterious new boy Dennis (Taron Egerton). The Smoke is a high octane, emotionally gripping, funny, and occasionally outrageous ensemble drama about what it's really like to be a firefighter in Britain today. And it's tough trying to be a hero in a world that dismisses and disregards heroes. But whatever White Watch might go through, they are never beaten down, and they are always able to fall back on one another. As irreverent and emotionally charged as it is thrilling, you'll never before have seen a show about firefighters quite like The Smoke.
