Archive: Nicky interviews Ronnie Biggs
Ronnie Biggs, who took part in the 1963 Great Train Robbery, has died aged 84. Biggs was part of the gang which escaped with £2.6m from the Glasgow to London mail train on 8 August 1963. He was given a 30-year sentence but escaped from Wandsworth prison in 1965.
In 2001, he returned to the UK seeking medical help but was sent to prison. He was released on compassionate grounds in 2009 after contracting pneumonia.
Before his return to the UK, Nicky Campbell interviewed Ronnie Biggs and began by asking him how much was taken from the robbery.
