Going Straight GOING STRAIGHT

Tuesdays 9pm

The Great Train Robber 'Buster' Edwards ended his life of crime running a flower stall at Waterloo station. Now, with the help of a team of experts, six former prisoners with convictions ranging from GBH to burglary are going straight too - running a florists called A New Leaf.

Celebrity florist Paula Pryke teaches the group the fundamentals of floristry, while business advisor Roger Cawte guides them through the ups and downs of starting up a small business. Former criminal turned millionaire businessman Michael Fraser is also on hand to give the ex-cons advice and support - and to keep them on the straight and narrow.

The ex-prisoners have six months to get the shop off the ground. Can they seize this opportunity to turn their backs on a life of crime, or are the temptations of re-offending and the rigours of a 9-to-5 job just too much to take?
