About this listen

Heroes or villains? You decide....

In the 1960s, London’s gangland was ruled by two men: Reggie and Ronnie Kray. Building an empire of crime by intimidation, extortion, and terror on a scale never seen before or since, they feted stars of stage and screen, sportsmen, and even politicians to gain the respectability they craved.

On the March 17, 1995, Ronnie Kray died suddenly of a heart attack while serving a life sentence for murder. His funeral was watched by over 50,000 people. Five years later, Reggie Kray died of cancer, thus closing a particularly dark chapter in the history of London's underworld.

Read by acclaimed actor Martin Shaw, this is the true story of their rise and fall.

Interesting story

Great narration. sometimes adding 'voices' is distracting but this version was enjoyable. Interesting story, I would enjoy hearing more specific details, such as when the 'long company' frauds were made.

Fascinating

Great story really well presented in a suitable accent. Bit of a shame that the narrator didn’t quite have control over his saliva machine, the continued slurping and swallowing is fiercely off-putting… otherwise a brilliant listen.
