Gangsters: Faces of the Underworld

Bernard O’Mahoney begins his journey in Glasgow, an epicentre for criminal activity over the past 50 years. Bernie meets the city's first Godfather of crime, Walter Norval, former leader of the XYY gang.

One of Manchester's most infamous gangs, formed in the 60s, was the Quality Street Gang. Bernie chats to three of the members.

With a history rich in crime activity, England's capital gives Bernie the chance to meet numerous 'faces' that have shaped London's colourful past, as well as present day names.

Panda Anderson will tell the story of the Krays visit to Newcastle. (To purchase gaming machines from a man named Vince Landa). We meet Billy Robinson, a man who recruited every top villain and fighter in Newcastle to work as doormen.

In the final episode of the series, Bernie attempts to answer the age old question "Does crime pay?"
