A wonderfully anarchic and humorous look at old age pensioners who had taken to crime in their sunset years. The documentary had a fantastic parade of old time crooksters – from small scale smugglers to the bank fraudster who set up false accounts in the names of his dead pets. There was Ivy the cheque card fraudster who had done time but reckoned this type of crime was fine because no-one got hurt apart from the banks. And then there was Charlie who claimed to have been a successful bank robber all his life and was, at the ripe old age of 80, still on parole for his latest con man misdemeanor.
A much loved and enjoyed documentary.
