Diamond Geezer was a British television crime drama, broadcast on ITV between 20 March 2005 and 23 April 2007.
[1] Created by Caleb Ranson, the series stars David Jason as jewel thief and professional con man Des.
Initially broadcast as a one-off special, Diamond Geezer was commissioned for a full series of three episodes following strong viewing figures and critical acclaim.
The first episode sees Des (David Jason), a long-serving prison inmate, trying to persuade a first time offender to join forces with him in his new big scam.
[2] The three-part second series began broadcast on 9 April 2007, but did not live up to expectation, with the final episode barely scraping 4 million viewers, down from 6.2 million viewers for the first episode before finally ceasing operations for good on 23 April 2007.
