As the details of HBOs Boardwalk Empire emerged it quickly became the most anticipated programme in the networks history. The excitement was understandable
- not only was the show created by Terence Winter the man behind The Sopranos but Martin Scorsese was one of the executive producers & would make a rare crossover to television by directing the pilot. Plus the cast was headed by the great Steve Buscemi & included some of the finest character actors in the business whose previous work has included No Country for Old Men This is England & The Wire.
