For anyone wondering what happened to the first guy, his appeal eventually made it to the House of Lords (which acted as the Supreme Court at the time) in 1985, where it was accepted i.e. his sentence was overturned. The case is called R v Moloney and it's an important case in the development of the law surrounding murder which all British law students learn about
He said he could not remember a thing due to being so drunk, yet he explained everything what happened. Thats why he was found guilty of murder, he could not use being intoxicated, as a defence for manslaughter.
imagine them interviewing people in UK prisons today for a documentary lol! ''Ya get me bruv!! I bare wetted him up. In here now fam. Ya get me?? Jail tings, fam....''
Look how well and well spoken young people were. Now go and watch Michael palins ‘confessions of a railway spotter’ filmed in the same year. Look at how beautiful and stunning the uk looked both in London and the north whilst he made his way from
The fact that these criminals can talk and explain themselves really well compared to some of the knobs in prison today.

When the UK was a very different place
Good to see and hear how the English spoke and thought back in the day. Brilliant documentary, thanks for sharing 🙏
excellent doco. got depth to it...and no pathetic background music attempting to tell you how to feel.
Why do prisons back then seem almost safer and more cultured than British streets today? 🤔
A lot of people get life for bumping off troublesome family members - makes me feel a bit better about having no contact with mine.
It's so weird how peoples accents change over the years. The voices seem softer, yet more mature. Maybe they just interviewed the best talkers?
The first story is a great example of having a positive mental attitude. Four years in the army can instill discipline.

Wow iam amazed how eloquent these people are
No TV's or play stations back in them days, a radio, piss pot and a few scud mags.
Stay sober and don't fuck around with shotguns.

Would much rather be in prison in the 80’s that the 2020’s !!
The searing honesty is incredible .
As of 2024 I’d like to see a update video of these mam and their life.
