Top Boy

Featuring an ensemble cast of brilliant new talent, Top Boy is Ronan Bennett's new four-part drama about young people living on the edge and, for the most part, out of sight in east London today, reaching its thrilling climax in tonight's fourth and final episode. Dushane's loyalty to his hot-headed accomplice and best friend, Sully, is tested to the limit when he discovers him openly carrying a murder weapon. With the police out in force and their situation spiraling out of control, Raikes offers Dushane a monstrous solution to all of his problems. Meanwhile Ra'Nell, inveigled into protecting Heather, decides to negotiate directly with Dushane over the price of her crop, which draws him further into a catastrophic series of events triggered by Sully's duplicity. When Heather unexpectedly goes into labour and with her plans in turmoil, she is forced into a bedside confession which confronts her old friend, Lisa, with the terrible truth about Ra'Nell's involvement in her drugs enterprise. Lisa, distraught and desperate, is left to rely on Leon to prevent certain tragedy.
