RIDLEY ROAD ON MASTERPIECE
SUNDAYS, MAY 1, 8, 15, 22, 8 PM

Summer 1962: London is swinging with new music, hip fashion and an irresistible, hedonistic spirit. It’s also seething with antisemitic violence incited by homegrown neo-Nazis. Masterpiece presents a riveting four-part drama set in this colorful but tumultuous time on Ridley Road, based on Jo Bloom’s acclaimed novel. Inspired by true events, Ridley Road stars newcomer Agnes O’Casey as Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish hairdresser who fits right into London’s mod scene. She is secretly infiltrating the British neo-Nazi hierarchy on behalf of Jewish antifascists. Rory Kinnear as Colin Jordan stars as the real-life leader of Britain’s post-World War II Nazi movement, and Tom Varey as Jack, Vivien’s true love.

Episode 1
