The Krays Inside the Firm. 

When Ronnie Kray shot George in the Blind Beggar pub a bullet hit the music player machine which was playing the Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore by the Walker Brothers a big hit in UK at the time.. And Ronnie smirked, well it definitely ain't gonna shine for Cornell now! I read that in a book I think it was written Ron or Reg who wrote autobiographies or a journalist, I'm not sure which, and may not be true, but I distinctly remember reading that. When Ronnie pulled the WWII German Luger pistol and pointed it right at George Cornell's head George acted fearlessly and continued drinking his pint of beer and dared Ronnie to shoot him and saying Well well look who we have here!...You haven't got the bottle!" Then two seconds later, bang! And George went down with a hole in his forehead. Remarkably he didn't die straightaway and lasted a few hours in iCU at hospital and in a coma.

All the very best gangsters don't go to prison

Fascinating documentary about the Krays, I watched this when it first aired in 2000 along with the other episode before it which focused on the business with Frank Mitchell which was really interesting but I don't why they came back to the Mitchell business here when they had already covered it. Really well made documentary with interesting archive footage and interviews from guys who were part of London's 60s underworld.

The Krays will always be enduring and interesting characters. Great insight in the documentary from those who knew them.

Maud & Mabel here couldn't control themselves, never mind London.

A film about Charlie Kray would be good

Absolutely no remorse or regret shown by the low life criminal at battering the PC and his dog . Makes me wonder why people celebrate the lives of these people when they were prepared to do anything to steal. Being from the East End is such a lame tired and redundant excuse for getting involved with crime . It’s more to do with being lazy , rather dim and having no regard for others .

Ronnie was a known nonce, he was knowing for sleeping with young teens, and provided Lord Boothby with boys, I'll never understand why people idolise him, If a major London gangster was arrested for having sex with a 14 year old ,we all know what he'd be called. And the guy Ronnie burned with a hot poker said he was at a party and was looking for his mate he went into a room and saw Reg given a young boy one. And Ronnie wasn't the most feared gangster In London, there was much more feared men like Alf Gerrard, Jimmy Moody, Ted Dennis, and Freddie and his own firm were going to iron both of them out ,by 1967 Ron wanted to kill a pal of Fred's and Fred refused ,he also knew if he kept disposing bodies he'd eventually be caught he regretted ever working with them.

What nipper Reid hasn’t mentioned was working class people with families who worked hard WERE FORBIDDEN TO MESS WITH it was only other firms who fought amongst themselves.

I know a taxi driver, who was there when ronnie shot george Cornell, and i know a just eat driver who was there when reggie killed McVitie, true story

Sad as it is,we're the krays biggest gangsters? Not sure the Richardson's were far more dangerous!! Ronnie Biggs became the most famous train robber,& he was certainly not? That's British fan base for you..

That Foreman elevator stare would give anyone the chills

Waterman, anything for a fee.

They are way hyped up from what they actually were in my opinion they wernt very clever criminals I know that much the myth of the krays is a bit far fetched

Ronnie was a gangster, spent more than he earned. Reggie was a gangster with a head for business. Ronnie was reckless. By the time they faced the Crown, Reggie didn't trust his brother at all.

Nicking a working man's wages is as bad as nicking the kids food of there plate

The moral of that story is simply 'mess with Freddie at your PERIL.'

Reg and Ron were Legends

SO MUCH WRONG !😂 NEVER KNEW GEORDGE FOREMAN GOT SHOT BY GINGER MARCS 😂😂😂😂

The Kray's were the best
