Network DVD / 8 September 2008 / Certifcate: 15

Network releases CAPITAL CITY – THE COMPLETE SERIES this September with all 23 episodes of the show are included in this seven-disc set.

Today’s London City wide boys have nothing on this lot - enter the yuppie world of city traders in this 1980s show where power suits, chunky mobile phones and shoulder pads are the order of the day with lunch being the last resort of wimps only.

Set in the offices of London-based international bank Shane Longman, the show’s characters are hired for their blend of style, intelligence and verve. They take risks and thrive on the pressure of closing the deal. This intense lifestyle, mixed with strong human drama makes for an explosive cocktail of a show.

There are characters such as highflying Declan McConnochie (Douglas Hodge – Red Cap) and his fellow trader love-interest Michelle Hauptmann (Trevyn McDowell – An Ideal Husband), volatile Jimmy Destry (Dorian Healy – Soldier, Soldier), the genuinely nice Chas Ewell (Jason Isaacs – Brotherhood) and eccentric Max Lupin (William Armstrong – Band of Brothers). Guest stars for the show include Clive Owen, Louise Lombard and Julia Ormond.
