Don Logan

Tired safecracker Gal Dove is enjoying a peaceful new life in Spain with his wife he adores.

His paradise is shattered when the volatile Don Logan arrives with an offer Gal desperately wants to refuse.

Don is determined to drag him back to London for one last big score, whether Gal likes it or not.

Craig, Elizabeth, and guest Derek McCaw talk about sociopaths, saying "I love you," British tanning, and the movie Sexy Beast on this week's Matinee Villains.

So I'm really excited about FanX, which is already over.

There's gonna be a lot of great episodes coming out that we're gonna be attached to that.

But today we are doing our matinee villain, and we are focusing on someone who's probably the least likely villain, but he turned out to be one of the most psychopathic villains we've ever had, and that is the great Ben Kingsley as Don Logan in Sexy Beast Elizabeth, had you seen this one before?

I had not, and now w- watching it, when I was watching it, I'm like, "Wait a minute.

From Gandhi to

Don Logan.

Yeah, he's an incredible

actor.

Wonderful opening.

But that, as it turns out, is the least of his worries, as his good friends and neighbours H and Jackie receive a call from London from a certain Don Logan.

We already know that Ray Winston, he's called Gal, is a retired gangster and is living the life of Riley on the Costa del Sol, where all good gangsters go to retire.

But Don Logan is bad news and he's a hard man to say no to, although Gal's wife, Amanda Redman, begs him to refuse any further offers of criminal activity.

But Don Logan is already on the way to Gal and Dee Dee's luxury villa.

And we know that things will never be the same again.

Don Logan is played by Ben Kingsley, he who won an Oscar for playing the humanitarian Mahatma Gandhi.

And we've never seen him like this before.

But then again, I lo- I love it when I've had the chance to play a lover.

Uh, in fact, in Sexy Beast, the original casting was gonna be, they gave me Don.

Which is the role played by Ben Kingsley.

Ben, yeah, brilliantly played by Do- Ben

Well, you've asked me, and I've said no. That's it.

So why are we still talking?

It was Don Logan.

Oh, Christ.
