The Real Dick Turpin

The criminal highwayman Dick Turpin has become a romantic figure over the years but now the man behind the myth is exposed.

But the truth appears to be something much more sinister. This documentary special sheds new light on the thief and suggests that he was a brutal, thuggish criminal who was anything but gallant.
