Episode 2

The Kangaroo Gang: Thieves by Appointment. Narrated by Barry Humphries, the dramatised documentary tells the true story of a brazen band of Aussie thieves who moved to London in the 1960s and ran riot, pulling off the most daring heists that Scotland Yard had ever seen. From the team behind successful series Tough Nuts: Australia's Hardest Criminals, this drama documentary is a mixture of heightened dramatised reconstructions, interviews and archive material based on the best-selling book: King of Thieves: The Adventures of Arthur Delaney and the Kangaroo Gang by Adam Shand. Led by five charismatic master thieves: "The King" Arthur Delaney, "Wee Jimmy" Lloyd, Jack "The Fibber" Warren, Billy "The General" Hill and "Gorgeous Georgie" Gardener, the team targeted the plush emporia of Knightsbridge, the fine jewellers of Mayfair and the luxury retailers of Paris, Rome and beyond.
