Is ‘Ridley Road’ Based on a True Story? Info on PBS Series

As PBS explains, Ridley Road stars newcomer Agnes O’Casey as Vivien Epstein, “a young Jewish hairdresser who fits right into London’s mod scene, while secretly infiltrating the British neo-Nazi hierarchy on behalf of Jewish antifascists.” Rory Kinnear (Men), meanwhile, plays Colin Jordan, the real-life leader of Britain’s post-World War II Nazi movement. And Tom Varey (No Offence) plays Jack, who is Vivien’s “true love,” the network adds.
