  • A knife attack leaves a teenage gang member fatally wounded on an Edwardian Manchester street. Around a century later, in another part of the city, a man is shot dead attending the wake of his friend - the victim of another gang murder. For over a hundred years Manchester has had a deep-rooted gang culture. In this episode Gary investigates the Scuttles - a gang that spread fear through the streets of Manchester over a hundred years ago. While Martin investigates the ruthless Gooch Gang who tortured and killed without a second thought. This violent gang was responsible for around two dozen cold-blooded murders and was active until only a few years ago.

    They got the location of the Doddington territory wrong on the map! It was 2 mili-meters to the right of the Gooch territory, on the map displayed ! The drug bazaar was behind the Mosside precinct before the gangs split, then Gooch close became G.C.O.G's spot, and Bannerman square become D.O.G's spot .

    If you look at this in a different way, it's almost identical to local football supporters from one club despising the local team and supporters from another...... for me, as a lifelong Gooner, it's Tottenham who I detest the most. My brother in law is a spuds supporter so we give each other shit when we play but the rest of the time we're cool.
    For Liverpool, it's Everton, for West Ham, it's Millwall...... or Millwall with just about everyone else. One of the most fierce rivalries in football is the Celtic v Rangers, but it goes deeper than that as it's also a religious thing. It sort of spilt over from Northern Ireland.

    We are just following in America's foot steps, it is my thought that the level at which we live our lives is so shallow our God for many has become money and the wearing of all the outward show of having a lot of money and the power and respect money can bring. Serious lack of education and the importance of having a trade or proffession is not emphasized , and wanting to get rich really quickly without doing any hard work and parents having to work full time to put food on the table while their children run the streets. The crews or gangs as they are known become a pseudo family supplying the boundaries, discipline and attention lacking in many of the homes, sadly its of the wrong type. We made this world
