The Great Train Robbery

Heist films seem so much less generic after listening to this...literally all the tropes are real LOL. Great episode!

Simon got buffffff 💪 👨 💪

Michael is such a good son!

This was perfect for the second half of my shift at work

The amount of stupidity here is physically painful

The reason a jury can't be made aware of previous convictions unless it is relevant to the charges in question is because it can colour their opinion of the defendent.

It's predudical even if its logical that criminals repeat offend. To be considered a fair trial, the jury must only draw opinions from the evidence presented at that trial. For one, by all rights Biggs already did his time for his previous crimes, so those shouldn't count against him. And two, what if he was innocent of that particular crime? It's a corner stone of the justice system in most western countries that a trial only deals with the specific charges brought against a defendent with an unbiased jury.

Not saying he was inccoent of the previous crimes or the train robbery. But that is the standard to make sure people aren't punished for past crimes, whether they actually committed them or not.

The long standing tradition of career criminals that are absolutely moronic

I know this video won't be too popular, but for me, the whole channel could be like this.
Less of the 1337th dude who murdered his family and more of "The great train heist" kinda stuff.

US Letter Carrier here, post trains stopped operating in the US in 1977. I'm guessing they ended around the same time in the UK. However, typically it is faster to sort the mail quickly in one facility, put it on a plane, and fly it to it's destination now. Granted that is much easier in the US where distances are greater but I think considering how big and automated most sorting equipment is for mail and packages it seems unlikely that it is still common in Europe or the UK. However, there are more passenger trains and high speed rail networks, so I could see it still being done in the UK and Europe but sadly not in the US because frankly it sounds like a great job

You know you live in a police state if there is a police station 5 minutes from wherever you are.

Good lord 4 hours 😂😂

Four hours? OHOHOOOOO we are PAINTING TONIGHT!!! :D

That was a fantastic episode. Well done.

I spent more time with you today than I did my wife.
I hope you put out.

This video is as long as a train.

Literal book length ❤❤😂

The argument with the monopoly game was that his prints got onto it before it was taken to the hide-out.

How many channels you have got brother😮

Dude, I'm not a 'kid' so 'glazing it up' is no familiair slang to me. Though, I do love your 'enthusiasm' often commented on by yourself and explained as, well, [your words of explanation here]. I'm not a True Crime podcaster/vlogger, though I've seen my uncountable hours of police interview hours, all varying from my very own stupid behavriour to very high level witness reports (no snitching, never never never ever snitching, something I do not condone you seem to be a large fan of...) but then again, you can still travel to Israel, and I can not. Them not even being a real state, like the UK (the irony) having no Constitution. By the way, I'm an Enemy of the US of A too, for a minor detail to be clear. Both regions are of no interest to me whatsoever, except for loathing and stacks of hate, so no hard feelings here. Yet, you are obviously cleaner then I am, and I do appreiciate that. Great fucking video, mate, again, next to some flaws and seemingly openminded but actually full-blown and well deserved ignorance in your rants you very well think ahead, analyze and a hundred per cent are right about LAWYERS and 'NO COMMENT" being the only two fucking words you have to ever know, for you do not ever, EVER talk to a cop, unless there are very rare cicrumstances (of which 'A LAWYER' is the f*ckin' first rule of the few).

Very much enjoyed this one! Love the longer videos

Phil Collins puts in a good performance in Buster 1988. Eastenders Larry Lamb and The Bill/Londons Burning actors are in it as well.

How can you misunderstand the law so badly after all these videos?

Hell yeah, what a story

Once again Simon shows off his miniscule brain

I can't lie, I've watched this 3 times. I have throughly enjoyed this. Thank you SO much David and Simon and everyone who put work into this episode 🎉😊😊

Did David need a big pay cheque this month lol

The fingerprints appearing on the monopoly game at an earlier date in a different location because they were good friends does provide reasonable doubt. I don't think the defense was trying to say he stopped by the farm for a quick game of monopoly while the others were hiding from the cops xD

I live in Bognor and never knew Ronnie Biggs hid here

this is perfect to listen to while i’m watching the buckets under my leaking roof

Lmao they threw away the Scottish money.

Did you do one on the Lockerbie bomber?

I didn’t mind that this was 4 hrs. I hope we get more heist stories!

Now I might be wrong, but I thought he did this heist already? Or was that another train heist in the uk? Or was that over on another channel?

Jeez that wad a long one but it was fantastic ...well done team

Hey Simon, great episode! I might be a minority, but I really appreciate no-murdery podcasts. Violence is violence, but the serial killer stuff at some point tip the interesting/repulsive peak towards the repulsive side of the diagram -although you do a great work at not presenting the gore og it. Also, I thoroughly enjoy your frustation at criminals not criminaling properly.

I think it's hilarious that Simon will mis-read something & go off on rants ! It said that Daly had played monopoly on a EARLIER occasion & that's how his prints got on it. Not because he came by the farm to play monopoly.

These men had incredibly loyal wives.

I feel like Simon should’ve worn a leather jacket with his white t-shirt for this CC. 😁

I loved this one ❤

A hairdresser with a mom tattoo who is overly violent and bashed gays specifically?

Closet case if I ever saw one.

I loveeee these long episodes! I listen to them while I work overnight- I had never heard the term about having the stuffing beat out of you and I tried so hard not to die laughing at work, it felt like silent library 😅

I'm waiting from a sodding email from some cretin to confirm that they wrecked a data connection; I have all the time in the world.
