Episode 27 – Looking For Micky (A Krays Bedtime Story)

The Minder Podcast

This one is a little different as you will no doubt have seen. So what’s occurring, what’s this all about?

Well, I have had a few requests for doing an episode deep dive and wasn’t sure if I wanted to start that process as it could become addictive. After all, there are 109 to play with.

But sometimes you come across something that you didn’t expect from a surprising source and in this case it made me think this was one episode I could do that with. My wife, legend that she is, recently came back from the second hand book shop with a book called The Enforcer, written by Albert Donoghue (with Martin Short).

What jumped out at me when reading the book was chapter nine, Big Frank Meets The Big Sleep. Not only is it an incredible account of what actually happened to Big or ‘Mad’ Frank Mitchell but it is also an astonishing retelling of most of the Looking For Micky plot!

Or should I say, pre-telling, because this occurred in 1966. So if you are a fan of the episode from series 3, you’ll love this.
