Family is an ITV crime drama series, first broadcast on 29 September 2003, starring Martin Kemp and Jamie Foreman as two gangster brothers operating in London's East End.
Nick Elliott, controller of ITV drama, said of the series; "Jamie plays the loopy brother, while Martin is like Al Pacino's character in the Godfather, desperately wanting to be straight but going along with the dodgy stuff.
There'll be a contrast between Martin living a normal suburban lifestyle, then going to meetings to discuss rubbing someone out and being involved in rackets and organised crime.
Elliott commissioned the six-part series alongside Granada South drama controller, Michele Buck.
[2] Family was well received by critics and media buyers, who welcomed it as part of a "quality-based offensive" in ITV's autumn schedule.
