- StarsFred DinenageDavid WilsonClive AitkinsFred Dinenage takes a fresh new look at the murders that shocked the United Kingdom in the 20th century, and the killers that committed them.

From the Krays themselves to the story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in the UK, Dinenage meets with the people whose lives were affected by these crimes, experts who were involved in the investigations and journalists from the time. Leading criminologist Professor David Wilson, also gives valuable and fascinating insights into each killer, ranging from "Black Panther" Donald Neilson to the "Brides in the Bath" murderer George Joseph Smith.
