Have not watched any of it so hard to comment, but too many of these programmes glorify arseholes who have commited crimes (and pretty nasty ones at that). Be interested to know if it is the same for this programme from someone who has watched.

Ive watched the first 2 I think need to catch up on the one just shown, from what I have seen so far, no it doesnt glorify it. Its from his wifes perspective. When she got with Biggs her middle class father denied her and his grandchildren from his life. Remember Biggs' was only a petty criminal not what we would call a gangster, he had a minor part in the GTR and to my mind he is only famous for escaping from prison and not being brought to book. In fact he comes over as very loyal to his wife and kids hence wanting part of the GTR.
I certainly dont think someone would watch it and think 'corr, I'd love to get with a cheeky chappy who I love but risks everything to go in prison and then escape so we spend our life running from the law' it doesn't make it look an attractive lifestyle. As Greenie says, it is from his wife's perspective.

Its a drama based on fact and brilliantly done. I would avoid watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid if I were you as they were horrible in real life!
Been a fan of Miss Smith since "Two pints...". A good actress who has become a great actress, and mighty attractive to boot. She has become one of those people who when you see her name on the credits you think " That will be worth watching".
Haven't watched it but I cannot stand Daniel Mays, he's definitely going in the people with faces you want to punch thread. Awful actor with his stupid gormless face
