Invisibles serie series#
The BBC confirmed in March 2009 that it would not be renewing the series for a second season. It was originally commissioned under the title Desperados but was changed to The Invisibles to match the name used by Head and Clarke's characters, and in reference to how people become "invisible" in society as they get older. The series was filmed in the Northern Ireland village of Portaferry, County Down which was considered a good look alike for a Devon village without being so crowded.
The brass parts were performed by Guy Barker and Phil Todd. The music was especially commissioned and composed by Nick Green and Tristin Norwell. Their daughter, Grace ( Emily Head), is completely unaware how Dad made his money or what he does when he goes out for the evening. Maurice's wife Barbara ( Agutter), initially resistant to their plans, can't deny the positive effect it has on Maurice's demeanour.
But the excitement is undeniable, and they try to make a go of it. Early capers prove to them that security technology and the brutality of the criminal life have changed dramatically in two decades, and they've lost their edge as well. On top of this, they're feeling old and bored. Woolsey's son ( Tighe) is in trouble with mobsters, and the son of a former associate ( Lennox Kelly) idolizes them and wants them to teach him the business. Circumstances, however, conspire to pull them back to a life of crime. They still have enough money to support themselves comfortably (though not as extravagantly as they might be used to), and look forward to a quiet life of fishing and the benefits of the NHS. Now getting long in the tooth, they give in to homesickness and return to England, settling in a quiet Devon fishing village. In their heyday, the media turned them into minor folk heroes.
After a string of successful crimes during the 1980s – during which they were never apprehended or identified by the authorities – they retired with their wives to the Spanish Mediterranean coast. By 2030 it is predicted that heart disease and other congenital abnormalities will for the first time be among the leading five causes of child death.ĭownload the briefs and PowerPoint presentation to learn more.Maurice Riley ( Head) and Syd Woolsey ( Clarke), are "The Invisibles", a team of retired master burglars. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target to end preventable child deaths cannot be achieved without due attention to children with heart disease. The Invisible Child: Childhood Heart Disease and the Global Health Agenda describes the burden of heart disease in children, outlines the barriers to improving access to quality care and provides examples of locally driven success. Join us by spreading the word and sharing this widely. Today, we call on governments, donors and medical professionals to assure the pandemic response does not have a negative effect on families and children with heart disease, and to prioritize the investment in robust, responsive health systems that can serve their needs.Ĭhildren with heart disease and their families, especially the poorest among us, are suffering significant indirect impact on their health and care as a result of COVID-19, which may result in many preventable deaths. It is our decision, collectively, whether children with heart disease will be among the child deaths we failed to prevent, or if they are given their right to health.
