ked over nearly every top London villain. I’ve used the real names of those that are dead, like Ronnie and Reggie Kray for example. And looking back - forget their media images. Believe me, they’re all a major disappointment as human beings. Ronnie Kray for instance was a fking embarrassment. Complete fruit and nut job with no grasp of reality. We fked him off early in the equation, but then his twin Reggie begged us to visit him. Another fking disappointment. We went to see him in Gartree top security nick. I swear to God he looked like Norman Wisdom. Me and my partner ‘Danny’ ended up eating all the chocolate biscuits his boyfriend had bought him in the nick canteen. Despite that they sent us the contract for their movie. We ran with it for a little while, but it was a complete waste of time. It would have been easier trying to explain Einstein’s theory of relativity to a camel than do sensible business with those two dinosaurs. So we fked Reggie off as well. The film as you know eventually got made with the Kemp brothers. And in my mind it was a right load of Spandau bks!!
