The Great Train Robbery

In 1963, a mail train is hijacked and robbed in one of Britain’s biggest-ever thefts, leaving the country stunned. The two-part story follows the gang’s planning and daring raid, then the police investigation as officers work to identify and track down those responsible.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like true-crime stories that follow both the criminals and the investigators, with period atmosphere and strong performances; Not for you if you want brisk pacing or a consistently gripping police procedural.
