BBC Commissions crime family drama Mint from award-winning filmmaker Charlotte Regan

The BBC has commissioned Mint, a darkly comic and unconventional drama about what it means to be part of a crime family, from writer and filmmaker Charlotte Regan who garnered huge critical acclaim for her recent, BAFTA-nominated film Scrapper.
