Great Train Robbery 2 - The Copper's Tale 11 Years, 6 Months ago

Much better than The Robber's Tale; mind you, with Britain's greatest actor (Jim Broadbent) and Robert Gleniston as well as actors like James Fox and Tim Piggott Smith in minor roles, how could it fail? Very good; examining far more than just the train robbery.

Interesting they built it around Reynolds and Butler; Biggs and Slipper hardly got mentioned.

According to blurb published on a Beeb page somewhere online, the makers wanted the programme to reflect the true status of gang members. Biggs was way down the pecking order and Reynolds was thought at the time to have been the leader.

Slipper scored later in the sixties with the Krays and Richardson et al.
