‘Stuff The British Stole’ Doc Series Adapted As Scripted TV Heist Caper; Wooden Horse, Warner Bros, Anchuli Felicia King & Ben Chessell Attached
'Stuff the British Stole', the ABC and CBC doc series, is being remade as a six-part scripted heist caper from Wooden Horse and Warner Bros Australia.
Anchuli Felicia King, who wrote on HBO’s The Sympathizer and The Baby and Deadloch for Prime Video, is creating and writing the series, which is coming out of Australia and billed by producers as “an exploration of the the nuanced debate around repatriation through a sharply funny lens.” Ben Chessell ( The Great, Giri Haji, Doctor Who) is attached to direct and write episodes, with Kacie Anning ( Class of ‘07, Upload, The Other Guy) and award-winning First Nations writer and playwright Dylan Van Den Berg also on the creative team. “Led by Anchuli Felicia King, the writing team, alongside attached set-up director Ben Chessell, have developed a unique cast of diverse and fascinating characters, who almost accidentally steal their way to becoming the heroes of a global repatriation movement,” they added in a statement.
