Memories of a Gold Smuggler
1 x 60 mins

In 1968, three hip young Londoners were arrested for international gold smuggling and defrauding The Bank of America by breaking their top secret codes. They and their team of pretty public schoolboy adventurers had lived a glamorous James Bond lifestyle smuggling gold throughout the globe, hidden in Ladies’ corsets under their razor sharp suits. Until the day it all came crashing down… 43 years later, the main players reunite for the first time since their arrest, and find out what really happened that day.

Based on the book “How To Rob Banks Without Violence” by Roderic Knowles.
