In our new releases from PGGB members and partners this week, we're highlighting:
The incredible true story of a special forces group formed by Winston Churchill during WWII. The "ungentlemanly" tactics used by the combat unit ultimately changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the modern day Black Ops, and their story is told in a new Guy Ritchie-directed action comedy. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is out in US cinemas today, and will follow in the UK imminently, via Amazon Prime. Seven PGGB Members and seven Partners worked on the production.
In television, the second series of acclaimed Belfast-based police drama Blue Lights is on BBC iPlayer now, and picks up a year on from the downfall of a major drug gang. The gang's absence has left space for a wave of other criminals to fill, while dynamics within the police force are challenged by the arrival of new recruits. This six episode police-thriller on BBC had four Partners and one Member working on this series.
