Guy Ritchie is getting his documentary on for a new Netflix series, Diamond Heist.

The Lock Stock director has exec-produced the three-part documentary, which plays out like a true crime caper.

It retells the events of the famous Millennium Dome diamond heist from summer 2000. A group of South-East London criminals are orchestrating what just might be the most audacious heist of all time. Their plan: use a bulldozer to ram-raid the brand new Millennium Dome in broad daylight, steal the world’s second biggest flawless diamond, worth £200 million, and escape by speedboat down the Thames. There’s just one tiny problem: the Flying Squad are watching. 

Told from the point of view of the South East London criminals who attempted the raid, and members of the largest Flying Squad operation in history, who foiled it, the series is directed and written by Jesse Vile (Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet).
 
The series premieres on 16th April. Here’s the trailer:
