The Paradise Club is a BBC television crime drama, starring Don Henderson and Leslie Grantham, and broadcast between 19 September 1989 and 27 November 1990. Henderson and Grantham star as Frank and Danny Kane respectively, siblings who inherit a nightclub from their mother, Ma Kane, a matriarch of a criminal South London gang, after she tragically dies. At the start of the series, Frank is working as a priest, but decides to return to London to steer his brother Danny away from crime. The series featured a large supporting cast, with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden notably making an appearance in the episode "Rock and Roll Roulette".
The series has never officially been released on DVD. Series 1 and 2 are available to purchase from Amazon, but these are VHS to DVD transfers of varying quality.
