A drama exploring the collapse of Barings Bank and the man at the center of the scandal, trader Nick Leeson, is in the works at All3Media-backed Story Films.
The four-part drama “The Man Who Broke The Bank” (working title) for an as yet unnamed major U.K. broadcaster, charts the meteoric rise and fall of the plasterer’s son from Watford who secretly hid losses of more than £800 million (then 1.4 billion) in the early to mid-1990s in Singapore, leading to the collapse of one of Britain’s oldest merchant banks.
It is based on research from multiple books and archive and archive and first person accounts, including recent dialogue with Leeson himself, by BAFTA winning writer Tony Marchant.
Story Films’ recent true life dramas include recent acclaimed series “The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe” for ITV, which dramatized the story of infamous conman John Darwin, and “Deceit” for Channel 4,...

To celebrate the release of Deceit, the new thriller mini-series from Channel 4, we sat down with Nathaniel Martello-White – one of the co-stars of the series – to find out bringing this notorious story to the screen.
Based on the real-life story, Deceit examines the controversial honeytrap – codename “Operation Edzell” – at the heart of the high-pressure investigation into the devastating murder of Rachel Nickell, a young mother brutally attacked in front of her two-year-old son on Wimbledon Common in London in 1992. Niamh Algar stars as the lead detective thrust into the honeytrap to try and seduce the prime suspect into admitting his guilt.
Martello-White, who appeared in Collateral opposite Carey Mulligan and Steve McQueen’s Mangrove, plays Baz, the handler of Algar’s character as he ruthlessly primes her for the task she is facing and the repercussions if she and the detective force fails. He tells about the process of getting into character,...

From The Virtues to Raised By Wolves, the Irish actor has a knack for complex roles. As she stars in a new British horror and a TV drama, she discusses working with Shane Meadows and boxing her way on to Ridley Scott’s radar
Niamh Algar is sitting in front of a stunning, world-famous view. “Look at that,” she says, sweeping her arm away from her camera, towards a massive vista of Buckingham Palace. The Irish actor, 29, is holed up in a hotel in London, and the royal residence is in fact a spectacular bit of wallpaper. She is halfway through compulsory quarantine, having just returned from filming the sci-fi series Raised By Wolves in South Africa. She’s had a bright and busy few years, bouncing from acclaimed dramas to blockbusters, via indie films and a Guy Ritchie caper, so it’s little wonder she’s happy to have a few days off.
