My new book, written with the extraordinary undercover investigator "Guy Stanton", is out this week. It tells the story of Beta Projects, the secret Customs unit formed to target the top of the drugs trade. Thanks to all who helped. Available to order now! https://t.co/3TOh5ulVhK

When I found out Legends was written by Neil Forsyth, whose The Gold I had loved, & that it featured the inimitable Tom Burke (as well as a few faces familiar from The Gold), I watched it straight away and enjoyed it v.much. Here’s a short review.

Wrote about Netflix's #Legends which, in my eyes, is a 5/5 show that I'm sure I'll revisit again and again.

This thread is hilarious.

There was an ITV gameshow in the 80s called 3-2-1 which was largely incomprehensible*, and which was part fronted by an animatronic dustbin. It routinely had over 20m viewers.

* I once watched an episode with a bunch of astrophysicists and people with PhDs in applied mathematics. Noone could explain what was going on.

The remarkable success of British crime drama LEGENDS continues, currently number 4 in the world. @mrneilforsyth

THE BETRAYER up to number two in True Crime, ahead of some bloke called John Grisham. Much thanks to the runaway success of Neil Forsyth's superbly crafted TV series LEGENDS; if you haven't seen it yet, you must. Can't begrudge Patrick Radden Keefe the top spot, he's brilliant.

Pleasure to speak to Lindsay Charlton about researching and writing DRUG WAR: THE SECRET HISTORY and about the pivotal role of one remarkable trafficker in the origins of the Turkish-UK heroin pipeline for the great new podcast series Narco Warriors. https://t.co/hf30RwI0zA

In Netflix's #Legends, #TomBurke is in the role of 'Guy Stanton', a pseudonym of the real Customs and Excise officer, who was one of the first to be recruited to the Beta Project, later leading the team formed to infiltrate the drug smuggling industry.

After his quite mind-boggling undercover exploits, he went on to private investigation and lecturing on covert tactics.

In 2022, in collaboration with Peter Walsh, his book The Betrayer: How An Undercover Unit Infiltrated the Global Drug Trade was published.
