Aroview: Fascinating documentary about notorious East End boxer, bouncer and latter-day actor Lenny McLean, told from the perspective of his only son, Jamie.

A street fighting legend known for his appearance in LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, McLean was considered by many to be the "hardest man in Britain" before his death in 1998. With the voice of his son guiding this story, it's a highly subjective approach to an undeniably problematic subject - McLean's notoriously aggressive nature and numerous physical assaults doing plenty to blur the line between hero and villain. An interesting and personal portrait.
