The court heard Mr Mullen and his family had to be moved out of their home and into protective police custody during the case because of the danger they were in. One of the most feared men in the country was sent running by West Ham's notorious football hooligan firm during a boxing fight, a former gangster has claimed. The mourners then clambered aboard and the cortege set off at the 30-miles-per-hour speed limit. But it was not fast enough for a couple of bikers, who roared past on the inside. “Foreigners, probably,” muttered Paul Topp, an old-timer at Cribb’s, driving the lead limousine. “You’d not have seen that years ago. Everyone used to stop, bow their heads, take off their hats. There’s no respect now.” Sentencing Frain to three-and-a-half years, Judge Simon Barham told the court: “Frain was brought in because he was from outside the area and because of his reputation as a man prepared to be violent and his ability to intimidate Mullen. Unsworth was the driving force behind it, Frain played a key role in it and Brunton had a lesser role involving not much more than the introduction of your co-defendants.

Parking spaces for the limousines had been reserved with wheelie bins painted with the St George’s Cross, an emblem of white working-class defiance. Billy’s corpse was upstairs, where it had been lying in state for a week. In the kitchen—so surgically spotless the family bull terrier wore the catatonic expression of a dog with nothing to sniff—Tracey and other Bullard women were in their dressing-gowns, drinking tea and chatting. Mr Redwood, an old family friend, skilfully organised and cajoled them. All his sentences seemed to contain at least three different emotions and end in a joke. As in: “Stacey’s taking it hard, poor cow, else she just drank too much last night—go on, mate, get up them stairs and sort your hair out!” Tracey had no qualms about keeping her father’s corpse in the house: “In the hospital he asked me to take him home, so what could I do?” All the same, Billy was going to have a less traditional send-off than his wife had. “He didn’t want horses,” said Mr Redwood, prompting a discussion of the dead Bullards’ marriage. “He loved her, but God she hated him,” said Tracey, laughing fondly.

After several offers were refused Brunton, 56, introduced Unsworth to Frain, who was well known to police and had a fearsome reputation for violence. The fifth episode focuses on Danny Woollard and Angelo ‘Festus’ Hayman, who carried out the Snow Hill Robbery in 1995. Hearing the casual way in which Mr. Woollard took a police officer hostage at gunpoint and forced him to drive Formula One style away from the robbery is chilling.

A notorious Reading hooligan has been jailed for three-and-a-half years for threatening an assault victim with violence if he did not drop charges.

Andrew Frain, 41, known as “Nightmare”, became infamous in 2000 after being exposed as a Chelsea Headhunter – a notorious gang of football hooligans – in a BBC documentary by undercover journalist Donal MacIntyre. As his neighbours moved to Essex, Mr Redwood’s calling maintained his prominence in an increasingly diffuse society. “This is what everyone knows me for,” he said. It helped that most self-respecting East Enders know Cribb’s. Founded in the late 19th century, it is one of the oldest and, after a decade of rapid growth, now the biggest of the family-owned undertakers that once stood on every East End high street. This platform has allowed Mr Redwood to develop some handy sidelines. After his release in 2004 he moved from Reading to Essex. He had previously lived in Granville Road, Southcote.At Mr Redwood’s stately pace, the cortege turned onto Barking Road. It was the route Billy had taken almost every day for half a century—ending at Coral, a bookmaker, where the hearse stopped. The manager of the betting-shop stepped onto the pavement and, in a gesture that seemed to encapsulate the florid theatricality of the East End funeral, where Victorian music hall meets Catholic high Mass, she handed Tracey a single white rose.

In fact I'm pretty sure they would have welcomed a set too with any firm and no doubt would have given them a hiding to boot.” The series was broadcast on Discovery's Quest channel in the UK in April 2014 (S1) and July 2015 (S2).

And it really began paying out in the run-up to the millennium, as numerous old lags started getting their pensions topped up from the proceeds of true-crime merchandising. After decades of seeing their dark power half-inched by punks and football hooligans, former East End gentlemen were reclaiming their 'Sixties appeal as shotgun-toting clothes horses and pop culture icons - lending their mugs to photo shoots, magazine columns and bestselling autobiographies. And, of course, movies: for better or worse, the Britcrime genre was also reactivated in the 1990s, a mixed legacy the UK film industry still hasn't shaken off. Undercover police watched the meeting in Brunton’s pub – the William IV pub in Norwich – on June 16, 2005, before following the trio as they set off in Brunton’s Mercedes to do a recce on Mullen’s home.

Having started washing bodies in her local mosque as a teenager, she now describes herself as an “R&B singer and embalmer”. She is also well known. Among the guests at the reopening ceremony are a former Labour Party MP, Baroness King, the mayor of Tower Hamlets, and, wearing a Homberg hat and ecclesiastical purple, the head of a Ghanaian Pentecostal church, Archbishop Kwaku Frimpong. (“If we was in his church, we’d all be popes,” Mr Harris says drily.) Some Muslim guests, warily inspecting the new body-washing facilities, think his gambit might work. “These days we see people who want horses or funerals like Princess Di, with doves flying everywhere,” says Haji Taslim Ali, who runs a Muslim cemetery. “It’s not permitted, but you can’t stop them.” And the story about McLean and the famous actors apparently running for their lives was recently speculated about on Youtube channel The Enquirer 1.0.
