The low-budget film, which is currently shooting in the UK, sees the duo ditch their TV police personas and take on the characters of career criminals.

“John and I are the bad boys,” Glenister told BBC Radio 2. “We rob a bank. We rob a few banks, actually.”

More than seven million people tuned in to BBC One to see the final episode of Life On Mars last month.

The show followed modern-day policeman Sam Tyler, played by Simm, who found himself mysteriously transported back to the 1970s.

The role has earned Simm a nomination for best actor at this weekend’s Bafta TV awards. more
