British drama has form for telling stories about people with super powers without breaking the budget. Sky One's latest contribution, called Stan Lee's Lucky Man, is a case in point.
James Nesbitt plays Detective Harry Clayton, a hard-boiled London based police detective with a failing marriage and a gambling problem. After one particularly epic bender, he wakes up next to a mysterious lady who has attached a magical bracelet on his wrist. This piece of occult jewellery apparently grants the wearer the power of incredible luck, though karma will always seek a balance. Of course, this is mostly done through extended co-incidence rather than too many special effects, which is not only neat, but also clever.
