The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin

In "The Wholly Imaginary Exploits of Dick Turpin," Noel Fielding takes on the role of Dick Turpin, embarking on a series of outrageously fantastical adventures as the unwilling leader of a motley crew of outlaws. His mission? To outsmart the corrupt lawman and self-proclaimed thief-catcher, Jonathan Wilde, played by Hugh Bonneville. Set against the backdrop of the 18th century, this irreverent reinterpretation portrays Turpin as the most renowned yet improbable highwayman, whose success hinges on his charisma, flair for showmanship, and, of course, his impeccable hair. Joined by a band of endearing misfits, Turpin navigates the highs and lows of his newfound exploits, including an unexpected taste of celebrity, all while evading the relentless pursuit of the cunning thief-taker. In this unique twist on historical fiction, Turpin's escapades promise a blend of humor, charm, and the unexpected as he weaves through a tapestry of absurdity in his quest for both notoriety and freedom.
