On Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.
35/40 years ago I would have been expecting to see the regulars off Wallsend High Street in there,we even had a pub nicknamed E Wing where all the porridge chompers drank when they were out.
It still looks worth watching though.
I seem to remember that Durham was reserved for all the "heavy duty" criminals in the UK.
I was working on Durham nick years ago when in mates smuggled parts of a gun in .saw Myra hindley a couple of times ,she had a broken arm at the time
