Frankie Fraser's Last Stand

Revelatory one-off special tells the truth behind the legend that is Mad Frankie Fraser. One of Londons most notorious gangsters, he has outlived all his contemporaries and rivals. Exclusive interviews combined with period recon and archive tells the story of the last of the old school gangsters. In this documentary we forget the celebrity myth and find out who this man really is. We strip away the well-rehearsed patter and re-trace his life from his wayward childhood in the 30s and the smash and grab war years, to the post-war gangsters heyday with Soho gangster Billy Hill, the Richardson Gang, the notorious Kray brothers and the Great Train Robbers. Mad Frankie knew and played with them all. Unapologetic to the last, Frankie Frasers last testament provides a unique and gripping insight into gangland London throughout the 20th Century.
