British VillainsAuthor: Ninth Planet Audio & The Cut
In 1963, a multimillion-dollar heist forever changed Englands history. The thieves called the job the train, the papers called it the Great Train Robbery, and the police called it the crime of the century. Since then, there have been books, articles, movies, plays, even tours of the site where the robbery took place. But how the villains pulled it offnow thats a story thats never been told. At least not the way host William Green tells it, because he has access to perhaps the last surviving man who may or may not have been involved: His dad. Hosted on Acast.

The Guv'nor
Episode 13
Tuesday, 27 September, 2022
In the London crime circles of the 50s, 60s and 70s no one was more influential than Freddie Foreman.

We spent an afternoon in his guv’nor’s flat reminiscing about the old days, and about how true villainy doesn’t completely disappear with age.
