Totally agree......one of the best I've seen.

Having written books about Jack the Ripper, Dr Stephen Ward, and the Essex Boys, ive always thought that there was no point writing about the krays. But this video was very interesting, and I might write about people from that era. The big irony is that I think society was better in those days.

Hi, do you have any links to the things you've written?

The truth is that they were very small fish in a very big pond. The only reason for them getting the reputation that they did was that they did everything they could to get their names in the paper.

It does all look so glamorous but the level of violence is staggering

My Father in law and his family grew up with the Krays..Told us many tales..One ,Ron was thrown out of the Saturday Matinee, he came back and beat the Manager with a bike chain..Reg fancied my father in laws sister Margaret, he sang "Maggie" under her bedroom window..My husband was a twin his sister died at birth.. Mrs Kray had given the krays twin pram to my mother in law ..Shame the pram was later sold ..and we never knew what happened to it

Tom Hardy as Ronnie and Reggie Kray absolutley bang on

Very well produced documentary and tells the story very well . Definitely characters and situations I have not heard covered by the numerous other shows about Krays

Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor

One sentence: had a comfortable upbringing. Next sentence: home being demolished for slum clearance.

You can almost feel Nipper tense up when the interviewer asks him about agents they might have had. Cooper was an agent but Nipper didn't find out til afterwards and he was furious with duRose for keeping it from him. This was Nipper biting his lip and being diplomatic but still fuming lol

Looking forward to this one thanks for upload salutes

This documentary is an amazing survivor, an even more amazing that it was made for TV in 1969 (in colour). It's filled with interviews and footage of the area that likely only exist in this one recording. The Kray's retained a fierce outside persuasive power after they were locked-up, about who & how they were portrayed on paper, or film.

My late mum worked at the staff canteen at now gone Longrove Hospital. She used to serve tea and biscuits to visitors and families of patients in grand recreation hall there. She told me she served Charlie Kray the day Ronnie and Reg switched clothes so Ronnie could absconde. She said the Hospital Authorities did not realise they had switched till 3 to 4hrs later after all the families had gone. Ronnie was caught a few months later

One month later, they hit upon The Other Other Operation. In this, the victim was threatened that if he didn't pay them, they would beat him up. This, for the Piranhas, was the turning point.

The current extremism would not have been permitted to take hold under the Krays rule.

The houses were demolished to make way for 'slum clearance' in 1969 however the houses in their place obviously weren't built until at least the 1980s! So the land was just waste land for over a decade in the 70s?

It might have been. I was on Vallance Road circa 1990 and my recollection is that the site was vacant. Not 100% sure, but I do know that some of these east end slums were not demolished for 10 years or so after occupation ended. And some sites have still not been properly redeveloped - instead being used for ‘temporary’ commercial purposes.

Newcomers are from slums, so they just bring that mentality with them.

On viewing this documentary in addition to many I've seen in the past, as an aside observation just noticed a picture of a 'Spanish dancer' hanging on the wall above the Kray twin in 'Vallance Road'. Curiously I have in past tried to find out who the artist was who painted it so I might obtain a print in some form? Reason is that my parent's in 60's had this picture hanging in our living room.........

They can't speak English let alone pronounce Kray. Someone came up to me and asked can you speak English? I thought what on earth and it dawned on me that I was the only person in the area not shouting in a foreign language. There's no English people left in London apart from the elite and most who aren't are either from the outskirts of London or are of generations of Irish and Jewish decent which have built up their lovely communities but some areas of London are no go zone's like Bethnal green where this docu is based, it's all south Asians now and they can be intimidating
