Luther star Warren Brown has described his new show as "like The A-Team meets The Equalizer".

Brown will play the lead in BBC One's new drama By Any Means, from writer Tony Jordan (Life On Mars, Hustle).

"I play a character called Jack Quinn, who's in charge of a team and their brief is to catch criminals by any means," Brown told Digital Spy. "It's of the crime genre, but they're not actually police. They go after criminals that the police can't catch, for whatever reason.

"It's a bit of a dysfunctional family - different members of the team have different skills and they're called upon when required.

"I tried to describe it and I said, 'It's like The A-Team meets The Equalizer', and then I thought, 'I would absolutely bloody watch that!''

Brown also explained that By Any Means is lighter fare than his recent work on the BBC's Luther and Good Cop.

"I've done some fantastic work with Luther and Good Cop, but I've not really been smiling that much for four years!" he joked.

"By Any Means - it is serious, but there's a lot of fun to be had in it, as well. It's quite caper-ish and there's a lot of banter between the team."

Shelley Conn (Terra Nova), Andrew Lee Potts (Primeval) and Elliot Knight (Sinbad) will also star in By Any Means.

6th October

When a building has been deliberately burnt to the ground, killing 18 people, and the guilty culprit cannot be touched, Jack Quinn and his shadowy team of crime fighters are brought in to bring him down.
Despite all those interviewed naming ruthless property developer Philip Granger as the brains behind the job, the police are unable to intervene as he takes refuge in the Colombian Embassy. With the embassy not officially on UK soil and security ramped up to maximum, no one can touch Philip while he is hiding out there. With the Colombian ambassador an old school friend, a political approach is also useless and it seems Granger is going nowhere.

While Jack, Jessica and Tom Tom set up opps undercover as pest control in the home of doddery old lady Celia in order to monitor Granger’s activity, Charlie infiltrates the embassy and works on wooing the ambassador’s beautiful daughter. However, Celia is sharper than she seems and Jack’s undercover surveillance is soon under threat, as is Charlie if he can’t keep his feelings in check and stop his emotions clouding his judgement.

With their window of opportunity quickly closing and the pressure on, will the team be able to turn Philip over to the police without breaking any political boundaries and causing an international backlash?
