Gold

The extraordinary story of the world's largest robbery - the theft of £26 million of gold bars from the Brink's-Mat warehouse in November 1983. Eight men have already been convicted for their part in the story; two others were acquitted at a recent, highly publicised Old Bailey trial. With the help of the man leading the police hunt, Det Chief Supt Boyce , and with insights into the criminal underworld from Andrew Jennings and John McVicar , the film follows the tortuous trail of the gold. Using some dramatic reconstruction, it shows how this massive amount of gold, beyond the robbers' wildest expectations, was smelted in a garden shed, passed over the counter of unsuspicious local banks, and fed into an international 'money laundering' operation, with much of it ending up, thanks to Britain's relaxed exchange controls, in the American drugs market.

Charles Whitman - The Texas Sniper

Texas sniper Charles Whitman's story stands out for many reasons, not least of which being that it features a co-star - the University of Texas Tower from which he fired almost unimpeded for 96 minutes. On the surface, Charles Whitman would have seemed as steady and upstanding as the tower itself - he came from a wealthy, prominent family in Lake Worth, Florida, was a gifted student, an accomplished pianist and an Eagle Scout. But this veneer could not be further from the truth as this look inside his warped mind reveals. On August 1st 1966, Charles Whitman climbed the University of Texas Clock Tower with his high-powered rifles and killed 14 people and wounded 31 others. Interviews with those who knew him well and excerpts from Whitman's own writings reveal how his murderous personality was formed and why his violent nature remained hidden for so long.
