Times you disliked or disagreed the team


Can I just point out I really enjoyed the show, but sometimes they're quite unlikeable.

The con is on - Corrupting the police investigation by getting a police official to put a conman into the position, really isn't good. It's a good twist but it's not conning honest men is it, especially as it's the conman who specifically sets up the trap. Also Ash putting glue on the cash machine so that a bunch of city workers and policemen and people can't get the money they actually earned, with no way of telling if they're honest or not.

Faking it - Taking peoples money when they've just had operations and are stuck in hospital. Using up three nurses on a patient that didn't need it.

Picture perfect - Charging random people for your drink by waving to them in a bar, is pretty much just robbing somebody with no idea if they're honest. You haven't offered them anything, you've just robbed them of money, with the excuse that they can afford to go to that bar.

Cops and robbers - Taking someone's dog to sell to a pub landlord not only makes somebody think their dog's been stolen, but also puts them through the hassle of trying to get it back and prove they had it stolen off them in the first place. It's someone's actual living pet and it might change the way they feel about it.

Gold mine - I don't see why the mark is the bad guy for calling the police on a con man who he's caught mid con. He doesn't hurt the guy, he just calls the police and yet is somehow portrayed as the bad guy, because he'd been conned previously. Danny says "I don't know why he didn't just let you go and take the £3,000", as though the fact he was trying to rob him of £97,000 means he can just say, that doesn't count, I've done you a favour, let's forget it.

They were hypocrites in every episode.
