Gangster Presents: The Story of Ronnie Biggs narrated by Daniel Mays is now available on BBC Sounds.
Released on Thursday 7 May and across six episodes, The Story of Ronnie Biggs retraces the extraordinary journey of British criminal, Ronnie Biggs, notorious for his role in the 1963 “Great Train Robbery”. Seen by some as a “loveable rogue” and by others as a common criminal, the controversial character’s story is as fascinating as it is divisive.
Daniel Mays says: “The story of Ronnie Biggs has fascinated me for years. Having had the chance to play him earlier in my career, it feels like a full-circle moment to return to his story and discover new material. What makes this series truly special is hearing Biggs in his own words — reflecting, joking, confessing, and myth‑making. These recordings pull you right into the heart of his extraordinary life, and I’m thrilled to help bring them to a whole new audience.”
