Black Velvet Band (1997)
Period drama Black Velvet Band takes us back to Victorian times when a gang of petty crooks find themselves sentenced to transportation to Australia, their ship, however, docks in South Africa and the gang manage to make their escape. The film starred Nick Berry, Chris McHallem and Todd Carty, who had all previously appeared in EastEnders together. The initial idea came from McHallem, whilst Nick Berry, thanks to being the darling of ITV at the time because of his hit show Heartbeat, had the clout to get it made.

One of my all time favorites.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
