Spender
Overview
Jimmy Nail stars as Spender, a gritty detective who finds himself back in Newcastle following a botched undercover mission in London. Navigating the city's dangerous crime scene, he relies on his unorthodox tactics while confronting the ghosts of his past—friends, foes, and family he thought he had left behind. Alongside him is Stick, his loyal partner portrayed by Sammy Johnson, and Denise Welch as his estranged wife. As Spender grapples with personal and professional challenges, the struggle between his old life and new realities intensifies.
