Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays are back as police duo Carver and Major as Season Two of sci-fi comedy Code 404 lands on DVD and digital and we have TWO box-sets of Series One and Two to give away!
The first series of Code 404 focussed on DI Roy Carver (Graham, Line of Duty) and DI John Major (Mays, Good Omens), the top crime fighting duo in the Metropolitan Police’s Special Investigation Unit. When an undercover sting goes horribly wrong, Major is gunned down on the job and killed. How will the SIU function without him? Well, it doesn’t have to.
As an ‘asset’ considered too valuable to lose, his body is fast-tracked into an experimental Artificial Intelligence project to bring him back from the dead. The only problem is, Major 2.0 may look like and sound like the original, but something has been lost in translation – his crimefighting instincts have completely deserted him. Somehow, Major’s error-strewn hunches and Carver’s scrambling to make good allow them to just about scrape by. Not to mention in the year since his death, Major’s wife has moved on, and her new boyfriend causes Major some major problems…
Picking up where Series One left off, Series Two brings Caver and Major back together for more comedy capers, criminal-catching, and a 20-year-old cold-case which throws the pair straight into action. The AI-driven Major struggles with the pressures of an impending divorce from his wife (Anna Maxwell-Martin, Motherland), the return of his long-lost father, and strange glitches. Much to DI Carver’s concern, Major’s problems seem more serious than something a quick reboot can solve, and are likely signs of his AI failing. It looks like the dynamic duo are in for even more trouble than before…
The new series features brand new characters alongside returning cast, including Meera Syal (Broadchurch) as Elizabeth Churchland, and Clive Russell (Game of Thrones) as John’s father Clifford Major.
