SECRETS OF THE KRAYS
Producer/Director | 3x60' | ITV / Britbox
NOMINATED FOR THE AIB AWARD FOR BEST STREAMING DOCUMENTARY
An in-depth look at the most famous gangsters in British history; Secrets of the Krays features revelatory interviews with those who knew the Krays best, including former gang members, relatives and family friends, as well as celebrity photographer and friend David Bailey, the Krays’ lawyers, and police officers involved in bringing them to justice.
The first factual commission for Britbox which also aired on prime-time ITV, I directed and filmed across the series on prime lenses. Featuring exclusive interviews, previously unseen archive and dramatic reconstruction. I took episode 2 - "Fear & Fame" - through the edit which was cut without VO.
"A fascinating cut above the usual true-crime documentary"
Sunday Times
"It's a smooth, highly professional production, supplying keen psychological portraits from people who knew the London crime brothers, as well as a thorough analysis of how they rose from petty thugs to West End celebrities, with pals in the arts and the Lords"
