Tv drama

I have decided to do an analysis of Michael Stone aka Mickey Bricks as I really enjoyed watching the Final Hustle series.

Tv drama: Hustle

Genre of Tv drama: Police Procedural

Actor: Adrian Lester

Character Name: Michael Stone aka Mickey Bricks

Age: 36 through to 44 years old. (took age from first series in 2004 all the way through to the last series in 2012)

Costume: Usually wears a suit or casual clothes depending on the situation

Sum up his lifestyle in five words: Respected, Intelligent, Ambitious, Leader and Lonely

Friends include: Stacie Monroe, Albert Stoner, Eddie, Sean Kennedy and Danny Blue

Interests: To find a new Girl Friend and make money

Motivation in most situations: To make people that are greedy pay for what they have done but Michael Stone doesn't target people that are worse off than him

Love life: Not stable get's divorced because of his dishonest lifestyle

Problems in life: Can get quite violent as proven by two years in year for GBH

Key moment in the drama series/ show: When he masterminds a successful 10 millon pound steal from a Bahrain Business man called Wasem Madani

Predication for a future narratives: Michael Stone quits being a con artist and settles down with a new girlfriend but soon finds he misses being a con artist

How is the audience supposed to react to them? The audience is supposed to think how do they do this while switching off from the real world


I am now going to write the start of a script of a potential scene that my character could appear in in a future series. If people comment or like it I may decide to carry the scene on.

Setting = Restuarant Michael brings his new girlfriend out for a meal

Michael = Here we are

Lucy = This is nice thank you so much for bringing me here I love going here. (Lucy smiles at Michael who gives a nervous smile back.They walk in.)

Waiter = Here is your table

Lucy and Michael = Thanks

(They order there food)

Michael = What do you do for a living?

Lucy = I work in a hairdressers and in the past I worked as an accountant how about you? (Lucy is quite proud of what she has achieved) How about you?

Michael (looks at floor avoids eye contact) = Well I don't really work that much just the odd job here and there (Lucy believes him before the conversation moves on Michael is relieved and lets out a smile.)

(The door opens and in walks Michael gang who see him and head over to talk)

Albert = Hello Michael long time no see I see that you have company

Michael = Yes this is Lucy

Albert = Nice to meet you

Lucy = Same what brings you here?

Albert = Just here for a drink with a few friends anyway best be leaving you to it later Michael 

(Albert walks away)

Lucy = How do you know Albert?
