The Syndicate is a British television drama series. It was written by Kay Mellor and is broadcast on BBC One.
The first season concerns five supermarket workers in Leeds, who enter a lottery syndicate and win. The second season focuses on another syndicate in a similar situation, this time workers at a public hospital in Bradford, Yorkshire. Each episode centres on a different character.
The theme tune from the show, "All Or Nothing", by the Small Faces, reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1966.
Future Seasons[]
BBC One has renewed The Syndicate for a third series of six episodes, which will air in 2015.
American Version - "Lucky 7"[]
On 1 February 2013, it was announced that ABC ordered a pilot for a US remake. It was renamed Lucky 7 and written by David Zabel and Jason Richman. The American Version would also include Lorraine Bruce in it's cast. Lucky 7 was cancelled on October 4, 2013 after only two episodes were broadcast due to extremely low ratings.
