SHOOTING THE MOB – Brian Anderson | Face to Face with Britain's Deadliest Men

In this explosive episode, I'm joined by Brian Anderson, one of Britain's most high-profile photojournalists, for a gripping journey into the dark world of gangsters, gangland violence and organised crime.

Brian has been face to face with some of the most notorious and dangerous figures in Britain's criminal underworld – and he's got the stories and experiences to prove it.

From Paul Ferris, Tam McGraw, Mick Healy, Mark Clinton, Gary Moore, Blink MacDonald and Freddie Foreman, this episode takes us right into the heart of the underworld.

Gangsters. Gangland hits. Violence. Loyalty. Betrayal. Chaos.

An extraordinary insight into the men, the crimes and the moments that made headlines – told by a man who was there, camera in hand, capturing it all.

This episode has it ALL.

You won't want to miss this one.

🎙️ SHOOTING THE MOB – OUT NOW!

As featured on the BBC programme Inside Barlinnie, Frankie’s life was once defined by the brutal, unforgiving realities of survival. This episode is the raw, unfiltered account of a journey from the absolute brink of destruction to a life of profound purpose and healing.

⛓️ The Past: Chaos & "The Punisher"

Long before entering Scotland's most notorious prison, Frankie's path was forged in the chaos of the streets. He takes you directly into his childhood, unpacking a turbulent world dominated by the grip of drug addiction and the lethal reality of knife gangs.

Inevitably, this trajectory led him behind the heavy steel doors of HMP Barlinnie. It was there, surrounded by violence, that Frankie would inherit a fearsome name: "The Punisher." Driven by a fierce street morality, he unleashed brutal, uncompromising vigilante justice on sex offenders as punishment for their heinous crimes. It was a dark, explosive chapter born out of systemic survival and deeply rooted trauma.

🕊️ The Present: Trauma, Recovery, & Redemption

But the story didn't end in a prison cell. True strength isn't just about surviving the chaos; it’s about having the courage to walk away from it.

Today, Frankie is walking a radically different path. Having broken free from the cycles of addiction, violence, and institutionalisation, he is now in full recovery. He has turned his deepest scars into weapons of empathy, actively mentoring others and helping them heal from the very same traumas that once destroyed his own youth.

Alistair Wilson was a 30-year-old Scottish bank manager whose fatal, unsolved shooting on his doorstep in Nairn in November 2004 remains one of Scotland's most high-profile cold cases.

The Murder

• Date and Location: On November 28, 2004, at around 7:00 PM, a man knocked on the door of the Wilson family home on Crescent Road in the seaside town of Nairn.

• The Encounter: The stranger asked Alistair Wilson by name and handed him a blue envelope with the word "Paul" written on it. Wilson went inside briefly, then returned to the door where he was shot multiple times. He died later that evening in the hospital.

• The Weapon: Ten days after the shooting, an antique German-made H&R pocket pistol used in the murder was discovered in a drain a few streets away.

Wayne Couzens is a former British police officer who is serving a whole-life prison sentence for the March 2021 abduction, rape, and murder of Sarah Everard in London. His case sparked national outrage, deeply damaged public trust in UK policing, and initiated intense debate surrounding women's safety.

The Murder of Sarah Everard: On 3 March 2021, Couzens—who was a serving officer with the Metropolitan Police Service—falsely arrested 33-year-old Sarah Everard as she walked home in South London, using his warrant card and handcuffs under the guise of enforcing COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. He then drove her to Kent, where he raped and strangled her before burning and hiding her remains.Indecent Exposure: Following his murder conviction, Couzens was also prosecuted for multiple prior incidents of indecent exposure dating between 2015 and 2021. In March 2023, he received an additional 19-month prison sentence for these offences.

BBC television presenter Jill Dando was shot dead on the doorstep of her home in Fulham, west London, on 26 April 1999.

Circumstance: Dando was mostly living with her fiancé at the time and returned to her house unexpectedly, suggesting the attacker may have either stalked her or struck opportunistically.

The InvestigationScale: Triggered one of the largest murder inquiries in the history of the Metropolitan Police.

Theories: Police explored multiple potential motives, including a professional contract killing, retaliation for her work on Crimewatch, or a politically motivated assassination linked to her recent broadcast aiding Kosovo refugees. No formal conspiracy evidence was ever found.

Barry George Trial and AcquittalArrest and Conviction: Local loner Barry George was arrested in May 2000 and convicted of murder in 2001, receiving a life sentence.

Appeal: The conviction was quashed in 2007 after questions were raised over microscopic forensic firearm residue evidence.

Acquittal: Following a retrial in 2008, George was acquitted by a jury and freed.

Current Status Unsolved: The murder remains officially unsolved, and no other person has been convicted.

Cold Case: Later police reviews suggested the attack bore the hallmarks of a professional execution, though the true motive and identity of the killer remain unknown.

Model, Actress & Wag Kanesly Tait Tells Her Story.

She stepped into the spotlight draped in couture, camera flashes chasing her every move. A model with undeniable presence. An actress on the rise. A former WAG living a life the world thought was perfect.

But perfection, Kanesly Tait reveals, is the most convincing illusion of all.

From front-row fashion weeks to exclusive circles few ever enter, Kanesly lived a life defined by glamour, beauty, and access. The world saw champagne moments and red-carpet smiles — what it didn’t see were the rules, the pressure, and the silent negotiations required to remain flawless in public.

In her own words, Kanesly pulls back the velvet curtain.

She speaks candidly about being admired yet misunderstood, desired yet diminished, celebrated yet constrained by labels that never told the full story. As a WAG, she was expected to shine — but never outshine. To be visible — but not heard. To fit the image — at any cost.

Walking away wasn’t easy. Reinventing herself was harder.

Today, Kanesly Tait re-emerges on her own terms — not as someone’s accessory, but as a woman of power, presence, and purpose. She owns her beauty, her ambition, and her story without apology. No longer confined by perception, she defines success as freedom, authenticity, and legacy.

This isn’t a fall-from-grace tale.

It’s a glow-up — the kind that comes from truth, strength, and choosing yourself.

Kanesly Tait tells her story.

And this time, the spotlight is exactly where she wants it.

Today, she’s focused on recovery, stability, and purpose. With the support of treatment programs, mentors, and a new sense of self-worth, she has rebuilt her life from the inside out. No longer in trouble with the law, she now uses her experience to inspire others who are fighting similar battles.

Her journey from incarceration to empowerment stands as a reminder that no matter how dark someone’s past may be, a brighter future is always possible with dedication, support, and hope.

Ex-Scotland Yard Detective and now police whistle blower, Jon Wedger.

Having been assigned to the vice unit and asked to track down transient paedophiles on canal boats, he ended up catching an alarming 90 in one week. Instead of being commended, he was dragged into an office and told by the senior officer that he was treading on toes and that he needs to back down immediately, otherwise he would be thrown to the wolves.

Despite the threats, Jon continued in his pursuit of protecting children and in doing so, it led to a complete unravelling of the dark underbelly of society, which not only exists on a street level, but goes right to the heart of our institutions, including the Crown Court, Parliament and even Royalty.

Having nearly lost his home, his family and his liberty, Jon soon realised he was caught in the middle of something much more profound - a spiritual war between good and evil.

Claire Greers is a courageous survivor of historical child abuse whose journey from pain to empowerment has inspired countless others. After enduring years of trauma in her early life, Claire found the strength to confront her past and rebuild her future with courage and compassion. Today, she uses her voice to raise awareness, advocate for survivors, and promote healing through honesty, empathy, and hope. Her story is one of resilience—a testament to the human spirit’s ability to overcome even the darkest of beginnings and transform adversity into purpose.

Marvin Baird came to public attention in the 2010 BBC Scotland documentary The Scheme, which followed families in the Onthank and Knockinlaw estates in Kilmarnock.

He was depicted as a recovering drug addict during the show.

His relationship with Dayna McLaughlin and his pet dog Bullet were also central parts of his storyline.

---

Challenges & Past Issues

Addiction: Marvin struggled with heroin use, and there were multiple legal issues related to drugs.

Crime & Legal Consequences: He has been jailed at different times (for example, possessing/supplying heroin, breaching probation) and faced various court orders.

Public Scrutiny: Marvin has spoken publicly about feeling misrepresented in the show, believing that some portrayals exaggerated his issues or made him look worse than he felt he was. He also claims the show led to misunderstandings in his community about his wealth and behaviour.

---

Recovery & Current Life

Marvin’s later life shows signs of recovery, change, and attempts to rebuild. Here are some of the known improvements and current efforts:

Clean & Drug-Free (mostly): He has publicly stated that he’s got off hard drugs (heroin) and is maintaining sobriety. He admits to past relapses or legal issues, but seems committed to staying cleaner.

Legal/Community Orders Instead of Prison: Recent court reports mention that he was spared jail in some instances because of demonstrable progress in recovery (for example, being drug tested, doing community payback, etc.).

Volunteering & Helping Others: He now does volunteer work locally and expresses a desire to use his experience to help others avoid similar pitfalls.

Health & Well-being: He has talked about healthier habits—getting active (cycling, badminton), caring for his appearance/physical health, which has helped improve his well-being.

Social Media & Story-telling: Marvin has been using platforms like TikTok to share his story, doing live Q&As, reflecting on his past (both the “good, the bad and the ugly”), and presenting a more rounded version of himself than what was shown during The Scheme.

Madeleine Beth McCann (born 12 May 2003) disappeared on the evening of 3 May 2007 from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, a resort in the Algarve region of Portugal, sparking what one newspaper called "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history". Her whereabouts remain unknown.

Madeleine was on holiday from the UK with her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann; her two-year-old twin siblings; and a group of family friends and their children. She and the twins had been left asleep at 20:30​ in the ground-floor apartment, while the McCanns and friends dined in a restaurant 55 metres (180 ft) away. The parents checked on the children throughout the evening, until Madeleine's mother discovered she was missing at 22:00​. Over the following weeks, particularly after misinterpreting a British DNA analysis, the Portuguese police came to believe that Madeleine had died in an accident in the apartment and that her parents had covered it up. The McCanns were given arguido (suspect) status in September 2007, which was lifted when Portugal's attorney general archived the case in July 2008 because of a lack of evidence.

The astonishing true story of Glasgow gangland confidant James McIntyre, aka Jimmy Two Guns

James 'Jimmy Two Guns' McIntyre was Glasgow's go-to gangland lawyer and consigliere to one of Scotland's foremost crime families. His maverick approach to the law and a client list that included some of the most feared gangland figures of the time - including the McGoverns and Paul Ferris - ensured that he was always in demand but under the constant scrutiny of the authorities.

Now Jimmy Two Guns recounts the cases he handled, the strokes he pulled, plus his arrests, a high-speed car chase with the drug squad, his time in 'the cooler' for allegedly attempting to murder a cop and much more. He tells how he bounced back after being the target of a near-fatal underworld hit, before being arrested by an armed response unit for possession of two pistols, and reveals with wit and a sharp pen what it's really like being a lawyer for the underdog.

Whatever you thought you knew about crime and justice, think again - because for Jimmy Two Guns, the truth has always been stranger than fiction.

'Crooked judges, bent cops and hypocrites in high places - the most truthful legal memoir you'll ever read. Superb.'

GARY JACOBS was a highly-successful welterweight from Glasgow. During a 12-year career he held the Scottish, British, Commonwealth and European titles. He won 45 of his 53 pro fights and lost a world title bid on points to an opponent described as 'the world's best pound for pound boxer'. As a Jewish kid growing up in lilywhite Glasgow, Gary was a regular in playground fights and earned a fearsome reputation. He soon came under the tutelage of Maurice Lewis, a Glaswegian jeweller who was a devoted student of the sweet science. Lewis would end up guiding Jacobs to the top of British boxing and set him on the path to a glittering career that saw him fight on the biggest bills of his era in London, Paris, Vegas, New York and Atlantic City. Yet adjusting to retirement proved difficult as a failed business venture led to an addiction to drugs and drink as he sought the buzz that came with his former life. Caught in a trap of booze and cocaine use, Gary contemplated suicide and was only snapped out of it by the random comment of a passing stranger. Gary opens up on the battle with his demons and how he used his renowned courage in the ring to conquer the hardships that surrounded him once the hangers-on and back-slappers had moved on. As he says himself, "Whenever fate was unkind to me, I always fought back!"
