I have enjoyed the first five Turpin reviews, but the series has many factual flaws quite apart from making a criminal into a hero. I would also add that he was portrayed as a hero pre-Rookwood and that the real man's stint as a housebreaker was only a few months, then 2 years as a highwayman then a year or so as a horse thief. I look forward to seeing more of your reviews of this amusing though crypto Marxist Children's show. By the way I have nearly finished writing a book on Mr T.
