The Invisibles is a British 2008 comedy drama series created and written by William Ivory for the BBC.

Maurice Riley (Head) and Syd Woolsey (Clarke), are "The Invisibles", a team of retired master burglars.

After a string of successful crimes during the 1980s – during which they were never apprehended or identified by the authorities – they retired with their wives to the Spanish Mediterranean coast.

Now getting long in the tooth, they give in to homesickness and return to England, settling in a quiet Devon fishing village.

Early capers prove to them that security technology and the brutality of the criminal life have changed dramatically in two decades, and they've lost their edge as well.
