What happened in series one, two and three of The Syndicate?

The Syndicate series one aired in 2012 and followed five supermarket workers in Leeds.

The employees of the Right Buy U mini-market won eight million pounds which changed their lives instantly – in some cases, for the worse.

Timothy Spall, Matthew Lewis, Joanna Page, Matthew McNulty and Katherine Dow Blyton all appeared in the series.

The second series of The Syndicate introduced us to the staff at a public hospital in Bradford.

Series two cast members included Siobhan Finneran, Alison Steadman, Mark Addy and Jimi Mistry.

The lottery winners in series three were the staff of a crumbling stately home near Scarborough.

Another impressive cast included Lenny Henry, Elizabeth Berrington, Melanie Hill, Polly Walker and Anthony Andrews.

The Syndicate series four, episode three: what happens?

The wronged kennel workers finally manage to track down Frank in Monaco.

He’s obviously not slumming it – the former newsagent is living it up in a swanky establishment.

Now is their chance to force him to admit he is living the high life on their winnings.

However, their plan is scuppered when the security guards throw them out of the hotel.

They soon work out that the key to success may lie in targeting his pet dog Duke.

Back in Yorkshire, the remaining staff are struggling to keep the understaffed kennels running smoothly.

Meanwhile, Colette worries that Richard and his wealthy business associates will never accept her.
