Woody (Beesley), Quinn (Glenister), Baxter (Simm) and Rick (Warren) have been friends since sixth form. The fifth member of their gang is Alvo (Ben Chaplin, Dorian Gray), a risk-taking opportunist who, having made his fortune in property, leads a luxurious lifestyle in Majorca.
Now in their 40s, they've all taken different paths in life with varying degrees of success. When Alvo flies them to his extravagant villa to celebrate his early retirement, they enjoy a trip down memory lane.
However, all does not go to plan and they find themselves entangled in a web of deception and murder involving beautiful police women, large yachts, Speedos and a rather short assassin in a Tony Blair mask...
Mad Dogs airs in February, on Sky 1 and Sky1 HD in the UK

I knew you where going to say something about Robbie's mate, the part I'm surprised about is it took you that long.
John Simm is the guy who played the lead part in Life On Mars?

It was mad men I was confusing it with. Close it had mad in the title
Earmarked and eagerly awaiting its appearance. As it has Philip Glenister in it, I'm drooling already.

Season 2 on air Mad Dogs 2:
Sky Media is proud to announce the eagerly awaited arrival of Mad Dogs season 2 on Sky 1 HD. This is now available to sponsor and will air in February 2012.
Mad Dogs 2 will see Max Beesley, Philip Glenister, John Simm and Marc Warren all reprise their roles from season 1. This season will once again comprise 4 hour-long episodes for transmission in early 2012 with all the cast optioned for a potential third series too. The story picks up where series one ended with Woody, Baxter and Rick driving away from the villa as Quinn has chosen to stay and make a new life in Majorca. In the opening scenes viewers will see Woody, Baxter and Rick have a change of heart and turn back - and from there it just gets crazier.
Continuing Sky 1 HD's dedication to home-grown high quality drama, Mad Dogs is a dark and twisted comic tale in which four ordinary guys discover how easily the line between friend and foe can be blurred.
Scheduling: Sky 1 & Sky 1 HD 4 X 1 hour episodes Starts March 2012 Plus repeats on Sky1 & Sky2 and any showings on Sky Anytime & Sky Go

I think series 2 is so far very disappointing..
It's just thoroughly bleak...
There was humour in the 1st series there's none that i've found so far in the 2nd..

Seen the first series now. Enjoyed that and the humor was brilliantly done. Watched the first episode of the sencond series and its a flat. Even the actors look bored already of it.
