Kidnap Ronnie Biggs

Kidnap Ronnie Biggs

Men in front of the Houses of Parliament

This intriguing documentary tells the story of what really went on when a gang of ex-military adventurers went after the UK's legendary 'luckiest' celebrity criminal.

'Operation Anaconda' was the name given to the 1981 mission to kidnap the infamous Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs from Rio and bring him back to British soil.

With access to the kidnap team who carried out the snatch, the programme features exclusive footage of Biggs being held captive by the kidnappers, as well as a recreation of the operation.
