About
The Gambling Man is a three-part British television drama based on Catherine Cookson's 1975 novel of the same name. Produced by Tyne Tees Television for ITV, the serial stars Robson Green, Stephanie Putson, Ian Cullen, and David Nellist. Dissatisfied with his life, Tyneside rent collector Rory Connor decides to use his talents as a card player to improve his situation. He's soon able to purchase a boatyard and marry his childhood sweetheart Janie Waggett, but his success is built on a tangle of lies and deceit. Never one to shy away from high stakes, Rory is in the game of his life when he's asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for his brother.
