Real Crime

Season 2 Episode 6: Starring John Bindon

A documentary on the life of John Bindon, real-life London villain who took on acting roles after Ken Loach cast him as a crook in the film 'Poor Cow'. Thereafter he generally played variations on the same theme. Contributors include girl-friend actress Vicki Hodge,who was shocked by some of the things in which he involved her, 'geezer' actors George Sewell and Billy Murray and David Bowie's first wife,Angie,who was taken by his party trick - hanging several pint mugs off his member. Presumably this also appealed to Princess Margaret,with whom he stayed on Mustique,though her nervous staff kept quiet about his criminal connections. After being acquitted of murder Bindon died of AIDS at the age of fifty.
