Uk Tv Drama About Great Train Robbery

[pacuk01]

I am sure I saw advertised some time ago (about a month or two) on UK tele an advert about a new drama coming which was all about the Great Train Robbery. I don't remember seeing the drama on or have I missed it?

Part 1 on tonight

[boxtops]

It starts tonight - it said on the news that Ronnie Biggs,who died today, would have appreciated the coincidence. It's a 2-part thing.

[EcclesCake]

Scheduled for tonight, hope they go ahead.

[chrissa1]

The trailers have been on for a good few weeks now, pacuk1. I don't know how you have missed them. They look to be quite good.

[chrissa1]

Why wouldn't they, Eccles? Not because Ronnie Biggs has died, surely.

[EcclesCake]

You never know Chrissa......

[chrissa1]

Nah!

[Jomlett]

Biggs always knew how to pick his moment, whether it was slipping over the wall of Wandsworth prison to escape in 1965 or dodging the Australian police just as they closed in on him when he was on the run in 1970.

[baza]

He's bought a one way ticket now with no chance of returning.

[pacuk01]

thanks peeps. I missed the scheduling date as I very rarely watch BBC or ITV and tend to be on SKY. That is a real coincidence that he died and it is on tonight.

[VHG]

Part 2 is on tomorrow NOT next week.

[silliemillie]

I think its a bit spooky.

[Postdog]

Ronnie Briggs was a crook....he hardly deserves any consideration regarding showing or not showing.

[emmie]

did anyone watch it, i caught some and thought it was more Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels, the guy ritchie film

[EcclesCake]

I thought it was a very impartial presentation and I'm looking forward to this evenings episode...the police perspective.

[emmie]

i am not sure they would have been that well spoken, no swear words, none that i heard, and they would have done, i know it's a drama, but at least make it accurate.

[daftgrandad]

I thought it was excellent and am looking forward to seeing the second part
this evening.
Regarding the 'no swearing' comment,I do agree,but it did after all,start
at 8.00pm,an hour before the watershed.

[Everhelpful]

I lost interest after 5 minutes, They were smoking Tipped SUPERKINGS Cigarettes in 1961/62,!! if they are going to do dramas like this at least make them authentic.

To right Everhelpful, should have been a Woodbine.
