Ashley Walters: Top Boy sends 'real' message
Ashley Walters says he took on the Top Boy role so he could highlight the reality for some young people in the UK.
The actor admits it was viewer power that secured a second series for the gritty Channel 4 drama about life on a drug ridden estate in east London.
Walters, who has also appeared in Doctor Who, told Newsbeat he'd welcome the idea of a Top Boy feature film.
Top Boy, which starts 20 August, also stars Kane Robinson better known as UK rapper, Kano.
