'The Fingerspellers' is a stylish yet silly comedy series about a family of deaf gangsters who protect themselves with the power of their hands - firing bullets with their fingers, instead of guns!
The family live in monochrome Metro City during the 1950s, working to support the local deaf community through criminal means, offering them money and jobs to keep them afloat.
'Deaffather' is the head of the family, supported by his children, Sonny and Bella. When he stockpiles a new invention called the Textphone, a feud begins with a rival family called the Operas that threatens the family's monopoly.
'The Fingerspellers' was written by Charlie Swinbourne and directed by William Mager. The series stars a host of deaf actors - Ilan Dwek, Matthew Kirby, Rebecca-Anne Withey, Stephen Collins, Diana Martin, Matthew Gurney and David Hirshman, as well as a host of cameo appearances!
In the stunning fifth episode of the Fingerspellers, we find out who snatched Lyla and why they did it. Meanwhile a dodgy moustache leads Bella to become suspicious. But will her father ever trust what she says? Finally, Sonny questions whether Lyla ever did love him after all. An episode full of romance, intrigue and broken hearted gangsters - enjoy.
