Monday Therapy: British Crime Drama + "The Gambler" = Hilarity

This is the opening of part 2 of the quirky six-part musical crime drama "Blackpool" (2004).  Yes, you read that right.  A musical crime drama.  The sequence is a montage of the different members of the ensemble cast in their interwoven plotlines.  Now be sure to watch all the way to the end, where Elvis shows up and says ... Well, you'll find out.  As for Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler," well, that's applicable for life in general and especially for Mondays -- "the secret to survivin'!"  (I might as well add that to the Nerdworld Soundtrack.)  And YES, in "Blackpool" characters do randomly burst into song (and dance, sometimes).  The result is darn engaging.

Cop Rock.
