Summary: Mad Dogs is a British black comedy and psychological thriller television series created by Cris Cole that began airing on Sky1 on 10 February 2011. It is produced by Left Bank Pictures, and co-produced by Palma Pictures. The series stars John Simm, Marc Warren, Max Beesley, and Philip Glenister as four long-time and middle-aged friends getting together in a villa in Majorca to celebrate the early retirement of their friend Alvo. However, after Alvo is murdered, the group find themselves caught up in the world of crime and police corruption.
The series was initially a story about a rock band, but changed after a feeling that bands have been "done to death". After gaining interest from some terrestrial networks, the series was commissioned by British Sky Broadcasting. Filming took place on location throughout the island of Majorca in May 2010, and took around four million euros and 44 days to make. The main themes are friendship and growing older; Glenister said it is about ageing and "getting closer to death". Photographer David LaChapelle directed three 30-second advertisements for the series. Mad Dogs opened with 1.61 million viewers, the 17th highest rated programme ever for Sky1, and attracted positive reactions from critics. They noted similarities with British gangster films, more predominantly the 2000 film Sexy Beast.

Summary: Mackenzie decides to assign the group a task and then they are free to go home. However, he forces Quinn to stay with him in his caravan. Mackenzie admits that although he is rich enough, he cannot let the €3,000,000 go because of his reputation. The rest are instructed to pick up supplies to produce ecstasy from a cabana and send them to the abadnoned village. Enroute Baxter returns for Carmen. After making the ecstasy, Carman exits the van to wait for Baxter later. They deliver the ecstasy in a nightclub. After they receive payment, they drive back to Mackenzie's caravan in time to save Quinn. It is revealed that Mackenzie made them produce fake tablets to fool the nightclub owners. Mackenzie lets them go, and as an extra, allows them to keep the €5,000,000 payment, and lets them go, instructing them to board a cargo container, which will take them back to the mainland via ferry. However, this does mean Baxter has to leave Carmen behind, though he intends to contact her when they arrive in Barcelona. However, they find that Mackenzie tricked them; the ferry arrives in Morocco.
