Gangsters: Faces of The Underworld
Manchester
S1 E2:
One of Manchester's most infamous gangs, formed in the 60s, was the Quality Street Gang. Named after the advert which showed a group of well-dressed men walking into a pub with a certain swagger, the gang was well known for supposedly sending the Krays 'packing' from Manchester when the brothers tried to expand their operations. Bernie chats to three of the members: Jimmy ‘The Weed’ Donnelly, whose fame is such that Thin Lizzy wrote the song Jimmy The Weed about him, and Terry Barlow and Arthur Donnelly.
