In filthy, teeming 18th-century London, expert barber Sweeney Todd lives in the shadow of Newgate Prison, where he spent 20 years for a crime he didn't commit. When his past returns to haunt him, carved-up bodies start turning up in the Fleet River, and the next-door neighbor's meat pies become even more delectable. Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) is the demon barber of Fleet Street in this dark and gruesome BBC drama.
