Chancer [SEP] original network
Chancer
Chancer is a British television crime drama serial, produced by Central Television for ITV, that first broadcast on 6 March 1990. Starring Clive Owen in the title role of Stephen Crane, "Chancer" tells the story of a likable conman and rogue at the end of the yuppie eighties. The first series concerns Crane's attempts to save an ailing car firm, which at first seems to be straightforward, until he is forced to reconcile himself with his past. In the second series, Crane, now using his
theme music for the series was written by Jan Hammer. In 1991, Hammer's "Miami Vice" soundtrack "Crockett's Theme" was re-released with his "Chancer" theme tune as a double A-side, after the former featured in a series of NatWest adverts. The release charted at #47 on the UK Singles Chart.
Both series have since been released on DVD via Network, with a complete box set first issued on 4 October 2004.
