When Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs was sentenced to 30 years for his part in the biggest robbery in British history, it wasn’t the end of his story - he disappeared over the wall of Wandsworth Prison and fled abroad, becoming one of the 20th century’s most infamous wanted men. Award-winning Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright talks to Colin Mackenzie, the intrepid reporter who tracked Biggs down in Brazil in 1974 about how he found him, why he found himself charmed by the notorious criminal... and what happened next. Brace yourself for a heavy dose of Fleet Street and Scotland Yard nostalgia from a different era.

Central to the conspiracy theories around Princess Diana’s death was an accusation that Princes Charles and Prince Philip had been involved in a plot to kill her in a staged car crash - fears voiced by Diana herself in a letter to butler Paul Burrell. In the fifth of our seven-part series, award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright talks exclusively to Lord Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner who led Operation Paget, about the moment he had to ask Prince Charles whether he had a hand in murdering his wife... and about a mysterious sum of money found in chauffeur Henri Paul’s bank account.

Mysteries still remained after Diana’s death - was the Princess pregnant? Why did it take so long for emergency services to get her to hospital... and could she have been saved? In the fourth of our seven-part series, award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright talks exclusively to Lord Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner who led Operation Paget, the ground-breaking three-year inquiry into Diana’s death. Lord Stevens reveals how he began to put the conspiracy theories to rest - while leading forensic pathologist Dr Dick Shepherd explains the real reason why there were ‘gaps’ in the notes from the autopsy on chauffeur Henri Paul.

In a grand house in South London, a group of seven remarkable people gathered together for the first time - all victims of or witnesses to gross injustices at the hands of the police. Award-winning Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright spoke to victims of bungled cases, corruption and the inept investigation of false abuse claims - from Baroness Doreen Lawrence, whose son Stephen was brutally killed by racist thugs in 1993, to Lady Brittan, whose late husband Leon (an ex Tory Home Secretary) was hounded by police over ludicrous false sex abuse allegations, and Alastair Morgan, whose brother, private eye Daniel Morgan, was the victim of an infamous (and still unsolved) axe murder in 1987. All had one thing in common - they felt they had been failed by the Metropolitan Police, and were to sign a letter calling for Dame Cressida Dick’s tenure as Commissioner to not be extended and a shake up of the police watchdog.
