Episode 6: Buster

Duration: 40 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland

Buster is the story about the little people who craved the big time, and how it eventually tore their lives apart.

Based on the true story of Great Train Robber Ronald 'Buster' Edwards, the movie turned a rock drummer into a film star, spawned two number one hit singles, destroyed a lifelong friendship and, on top of all that, managed to cause major embarrassment to the Royal Family, a full twenty-five years after the robbery took place.

Phil Collins, Julie Walters, Larry Lamb, Martin Jarvis, Ellie Beavan, producer Norma Heyman, director David Green and writer Colin Schindler recall the highs and lows of making this 1988 hit movie.
