The modern British gangster movies are strange beasts, and I admit I do have a weakness for them. With acting that is often questionable and stories that tend to be on the sillier side of crime thrillers they have a charm that can even survive a Danny Dyer starring role (that was a joke, don’t bite my head off). The Smoke, to be fair, only takes a gentle stroll into the British gangster movie style, though it does feature some actors that you’ve seen in them before, and more bizarrely more than its fair share of soap stars too.

Dig out your double denim, B*Witched return to our TV screens tonight in The Big Reunion: On Tour.
Digital Spy met up with Lindsay Armaou from the '90s pop combo to have a nostalgic catch-up.
We saw an awful lot of lows in the first series of Big Reunion. Were there ever any happy moments for pop bands in the '90s?
"The work does consume you and you kind of live in a kind of bubble in a pop band. It can be difficult mentally after a certain amount of time. Add that to the fact we were very young and more often than not, when you get into a pop group like that you are very young, and that can cause problems. It's quite a surreal environment to be in.
"It does have its lows, but there's definitely highs as well. I think with the documentary,...
