Top Boy star Ashley Walters' forgotten crime drama is leaving UK streaming soon.

All four episodes of the one-off 2012 show Inside Men, which aired on BBC One back in the day, are available to watch for free on UKTV's streaming service U.

However, the show is currently in the 'Last Chance to Watch' section, without a specific date.

At the time of writing, it's not available on any other service. If you want to watch it after its removal from U, you'll have to purchase it from somewhere like Prime Video or Apple TV or wait for it to get added elsewhere.

Inside Men focuses on a heist that takes place in Bristol, as well as examining the events leading up to it, the motivations of the people involved, and the aftermath of the theft.

What to Read Next

Alongside Missing You and A Thousand Blows star Walters, the show also features Unforgotten and The Split's Nicola Walker, The Muppet Christmas Carol's Steven Mackintosh, and Hollyoaks' Warren Brown.

It received some strong reviews, sitting at 88% positive on Rotten Tomatoes from 8 reviews.

HuffPost called it "one of the better examples of the [heist] genre," while Variety stated that "The idea of each episode filling in more glimpses of the backstory does pull the viewer along and stoke tension".

2025 has been an incredibly strong year for Walters so far. In addition the aforementioned Missing You and A Thousand Blows (which he directed two episodes of in addition to starring in), he also acted in two episodes of Netflix's hugely-acclaimed and highly-viewed mini-series Adolescence.

Looking ahead, he'll be starring in M Night Shyamalan's supernatural romance film Remain, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor.

Inside Men is available to stream on U... for now.
