Who would have thought that the former Grant Mitchell would front a BAFTA-winning documentary series? No me either, but baldy hard-man Eastenders actor Ross Kemp has re-invented himself as er, a baldy hard-man Sky One reporter. Returning for its third season, the set-up is the same with Kemp investigating the world’s most dangerous gangs, this time stopping off at Kingston, Jamaica: the murder capital of the world. Mmm – I don’t remember them publicising that fact in their holiday brochures.

Jamaica’s gang culture is dominated by the two Yardie groups, with 10,000 members between them. Originally these factions held political connections but have moved away from these in more recent times. Kemp meets up with the gang members to see if any political hangover exists before moving on to sets in Poland, Columbia and East Timor later in the series. It makes for compulsive TV and though Kemp has his camera crew with him, it can still get pretty hairy. But I suppose once you’ve faced off against bruver Phil, you can handle anything.
