Written by KATE HASTE
The fourth in a new series of programmes on famous outlaw figures.
Some day they will go down together,
And they will bury them side by side.
To a few it means grief. To the law it's relief.
But it's death to Bonnie and Clyde.
Narrated by ANN MURRAY with the voices of TOBY ROBINS and PETER MARINKER
