Send us a text


Peaky Blinders, Hooligans, High Rippers - Was waren die echten
englischen Gangs, über die so viele Geschichten erzählt werden?
Wer waren Mitglieder, was taten sie und warum entstanden sie? In
der ersten Folge der zweiten Staffel schauen sich Basti und Max
an, in welchem Umfeld die englischen Gangs entstanden und auch
wieder verschwanden, erkunden die Hintergründe und erklären
dabei, wie der Alltag der Arbeiter im viktorianischen Zeitalter
aussah.
