Viv Graham leidde een imperium voor de bescherming van pubs en clubs dat zich uitstrekte over Newcastle en daarbuiten. Hoe wist hij zijn angstaanjagende reputatie op te bouwen, en wat leidde uiteindelijk tot zijn brute, onopgeloste moord?
New Series: Gangster Presents: Sex, Drugs & Cell Block Parties.
A secret and dangerous affair. An out-of-control addiction. It ends with the smashing of the UK’s biggest prison smuggling gang, but it all begins with a love story…
Journalist Amber Haque untangles what happens when mental health nurse Amy Hatfield meets convicted criminal Joe Whittingham. Her investigation leads into a world of blackmail and manipulation, where you never quite know who to trust or who’s watching.
Amy and Joe had been planning a future together, outside — but now they’re stuck behind bars, facing the consequences of their actions.
In this final episode, host Amber Haque unpicks how their story ends – and finds there’s still love, but also loss.
And for Amy, the question that lingers – was any of it ever real?
