Ronnie, Reggie and Me

A definitive insight into the real lives of Britain’s most notorious gangsters, from their trusted official biographer, Fred Dinenage.

For decades they were feared as the ultimate criminal gang lords of the London underworld, but their reign of terror came crashing to an end when in 1969 both Ronnie and Reggie Kray were given life sentences by a judge at the Old Bailey. Reggie went on to serve decades in some of the toughest prisons in the country, while Ronnie became a patient at Broadmoor with an insanity that was only kept under control by massive doses of drugs.

TV legend Fred Dinenage was chosen by the twins to tell their story, becoming one of very few people in their inner circle, revealing never heard before stories.

Fred discusses what it was like to venture into some of Britain’s toughest institutions and meet the most foreboding twins in criminal history, who other journalists couldn’t even get close to.

Expect intriguing and fascinating stories, and an opportunity to learn about the gritty reality of being a gangster in the criminal underworld of the swinging 60’s.
