Synopsis
Exploring Britain's gangs from the 19th Century right up to modern day

Gary and Martin Kemp - a great new presenting duo; a new map of Britain’s ganglands; historical and modern day stories; a villainous cast of hundreds; a series packed full of facts; stats and water cooler moments for criminal and non criminal viewers alike in… Gangs Of Britain.

By connecting fascinating historical stories of the country’s early criminal fraternities with the multi faceted gangs of today, the series builds up a criminal “Who Do You Think You Are?” and draws a map of Great Britain as run by gangs and gangsters. 

In each episode Gary and Martin visit a different British city where they investigate the stories of one modern and one historical gang. Through interview, archive and re-construction, they discover that blood line, criminal activity, mode of dress, religion, nationality, choice of weapon, avoiding arrest and prison were just as important to Victorian and Edwardian Britain’s underworld as they are a hundred years later.
