It's Tony Delano movie season in London just now. Well, up to a point, Lord Copper.
Last week, a packed audience at the BFI had the pleasure of watching The Great Paper Chase, the BBC drama based on Delano's book about the failed attempt by Scotland Yard and Fleet Street to lure Ronnie Biggs back from Brazil in 1974.

Saturday (16 October) marks the UK premiere of a Us documentary called Tabloid, about the remarkable story of McKinney, a former American beauty queen who kidnapped a Mormon missionary in Britain in 1977 for her sexual pleasure. (Oh yes she did. See Wikipedia).
The film is part of the BFI Festival,...
