After several months hiding out in a safehouse owned by Jimmy the Greek, Matt “Fingers” Bragg & Gavin “The Tonsils” Lazarus feel the heat’s died down enough to head back daaaaaahn the old manor with a swag-bag containing the latest episode of Brit Pop Movies of a Certain Age - a Pop-and-Cop double-bill, giving it plenty of verbal regarding the movies “Band of Thieves” (1962) and “Dateline Diamonds” (1966).

Singin’ like bleedin’ canaries they are. But stick it in your shell-likes or we’ll send the boys raaaahhhnd.
