Mindhorn is a must-see British comedy from co-writers and stars Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) and Simon Farnaby (Star Wars: Rogue One), with a supporting cast that includes Andrea Riseborough, Essie Davis and Steve Coogan.

Washed-up actor Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt, The Mighty Boosh) is given the chance to revive his flagging career by returning to the role which made him famous: Mindhorn, a genetically modified detective whose eye was replaced by a super-advanced optical lie detector, allowing him to literally “see the truth”.

Decades later, when a deranged Manx criminal demands only to speak to “Detective Mindhorn”, Thorncroft returns to the scene of his greatest triumph for one last chance to reignite his glory days and professional credibility.
