About The Take
Just out of prison in 1984, Freddie Jackson is looking for some action. With his younger cousin, Jimmy, riding his coattails, Freddie puts to use the connections he made behind bars, most notably the one with Ozzy, the still-imprisoned godfather who begins to manipulate the young thug and his less-violent cousin. Soon a potent mix of jealousy and resentment, fueled in part by the instability of his wife, Jackie, and her sister's relationship with Jimmy, forces Freddie to put both the business and his family at risk. The one-hour episodes, four in all, are adapted from the best-selling novel by Martina Cole.

By Nicholas Bourne & Matthew RichardsBBC News
Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman joined Wrexham fans to watch The Club 's return to the Football League after 15 years.
The Wolverine star joined Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney at Wrexham AFC's first game in football's fourth tier since 2008.
The League return has been A Dream come true for long-suffering fans.
" I'm continuing The Party I had at the Last Game in Wrexham and ended at 4am, " said Sandy Domingos-Shipley, from Toronto in Canada.
She added: " We're here for The First game of the season and I wanted to party with some of The Locals again - we've been here a few times last season so hopefully it will be a good win today and we can do some more partying later. "
Sandy said she had lived in the UK for a few years and liked to " get some Canadians together and use Wrexham as a meeting place".
She Said The Group started with about 60 people and now has 180, with members from " around the world".
" The community have been very welcoming, " She Said .
Fans gathered outside The Gates at Wrexham's ground early to try to get a glimpse of any celebrity Rivals - and they weren't disappointed with Jackman pausing to wave to them.
In February, that many of Wrexham's rival teams offered him co-ownership when Ryan Reynolds bought the Welsh club.
The two celebrities have had a comedic feud for several years.
Mandy and Harry Robinson , from Wrexham, have been coming to the stadium for in excess of 20 years.
Mandy said she had seen " really bad times" to The Point where die-hard fans had to hold bucket collections in town to save The Club .
" It was a bit upsetting but hey, we're here now. "
Her prediction for The First game? A 2-1 win to Wrexham.
" They can do it, " She Said .
The Collins family are also hoping for a win to start the new campaign.
The Family are season ticket holders and have been revelling in Wrexham's success since The Take over by Reynolds and McElhenney.
" I think they've done an astonishing thing in terms of unlocking the potential of The Club and The Town and it all started with their investment, " said Dan Collins .
Community groups have also been given plenty to shout about too as many have been given free tickets to matches to make The Club as accessible as possible.
Sam Jones from Dynamic Wrexham, a charity that works with Young People with disabilities, said: " It's absolutely fantastic. I think it's 56 different community groups that they've reached with The Ticket scheme, so that's about 5,000 tickets in total. "
While The Team is Looking Forward to a new season in the Football League , the " Wrex-factor" has encouraged some to look back at The City 's footballing history.
The Football Museum for Wales has launched a guided heritage tour to highlight the places in Wrexham where significant sporting moments occurred, including the founding of the FAW in 1876.
It also looks at the impact women and diverse communities have had on the sport.
Football coach Anne-Marie Withers, who has taken part in The Tour , said: " I found it all really interesting and it gave me a massive insight into the history of football in Wrexham. "
Delwyn Derrick, one of The Tour guides, said re-joining the Football League was another huge moment for Wrexham fans.
" I think that's a huge point of pride for everyone who supports The Club or just generally from The Town to see Wrexham back in the Football League where we have always believed they belong. "
