Heist: Robbing the Bank of England: Soho Studios Entertainment
This two part documentary looks at the 1990 robbery of the Bank of England in which £292 million was stolen.
Presented by Marcel Theroux, the series travels across the globe to uncover how a theft that began as an apparent street mugging spiralled into a decades-long mystery involving the IRA, Colombian narco-terrorists, and the mafia. Despite the huge sum stolen, the ringleader was never brought to justice, and many questions remain unanswered, until now. The series has unprecedented access to both law enforcement and criminals at the heart of this mystery.
We’re delighted to share that Episode 2 has been edited byRob Trela, bringing his exceptional storytelling and editorial craft to this complex and cinematic true crime investigation. We chatted to him about the project and he said “It was a really fun, but also quite challenging, edit. We had contributors coming in from all across the world, which always adds an interesting dynamic to the production process. For this series, we drew influences from all our favourite heist films to craft such a high-paced narrative, with Marcel chasing down the story of the largest heist no one has ever heard of. I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved. A big shout-out to an incredible team: Series Director Sam Miller, Producer Riva Japaul, EP 1 Editor Rhyss Hall, DoP Mikołaj Bakalarz, and our fantastic host Marcel Theroux”.
This one’s sure to be criminally good viewing! Heist: Robbing the Bank of England is available to stream on NOW and can also be viewed via Sky Max and Crime+ Investigation from today!

Further episodes include brilliant work from Jake Löfdahl (Episode 3 and finishing editor for Episode 5) and Huggy (Episode 5). We chatted to Jake about the edit, and he said “South shore are a great company to work for, the people there are smart, committed and very good at what they do. For this season I was given a tricky episode to cut – it wasn’t exactly the biggest event on the racing calendar, but it became its own thing and looked into a side of horse racing which doesn’t get covered very often. I’m proud to have been a part of it, and hope this year goes at least as well as the last”.

What happens when crime moves faster than the law can catch up? That’s the question at the heart of Code Is Law: When Crime Meets Code, a sharp, thought-provoking documentary directed by James Craig and Louis Giles and edited by Aidan Sansom.
The film dives into the chaotic world of cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi), where hackers can steal millions with just a few lines of code and often get away with it. It explores real-life cases of crypto heists and the people left picking up the pieces, blending tech, tension, and human stories in a way that’s both gripping and easy to follow. The film has been described as fast, smart, and surprisingly emotional for something rooted in blockchain and algorithms.
Aidan had access to first-hand testimonies, expert analyses, and a wealth of tweets, press clippings, and digital evidence.
We caught up with Aidan to discuss how he tackled this complex story, “It was a hugely challenging yet ultimately very rewarding project. The world of Crypto is complex, to say the least, and the events taking place in this film were no less so. The real task was in turning them into a compelling story that would keep audiences gripped. Directors James Craig and Louis Giles were very collaborative and open to trying different approaches and techniques to see what worked, and I think we’re all pretty chuffed with the result.”
Code Is Law: When Crime Meets Code is streaming on Prime Video and Apple TV from the 21st October.

Episode 4 is edited by James Sheldon, it airs on Wednesday 16th October at 9pm on BBC One. James previously worked on The Traitors USA, bringing his experience and expertise to the latest thrilling instalment of the franchise. He said “Working on Celebrity Traitors was a truly enjoyable experience. The addition of celebrities brought a completely different energy to the series, and it was a pleasure to be a part of it. The format of the show is always compelling, and I was never short of interesting content while editing. The production team handled the fast-paced turnaround brilliantly, providing constant support to all of us. I truly hope viewers enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed working on it!”
A huge congratulations to James and the whole team involved in crafting this gripping series which is proving to be super popular.

Love Con Revenge see’s the ‘Tinder Swindler’ survivor Cecilie Fjellhøy team up with one of the world’s top female private investigators, Brianne Joseph to secure retribution for women who have fallen victim to serious romance fraud. The series is gripping, blending present tense investigations with retrospective storytelling to build a surprising “whodunnit.” Each case reveals the elaborate tactics fraudsters use and culminates in very real consequences for those who exploit love for financial gain.
A standout story of the series is ‘Major League Scammer’, which unfolds across Episodes 5 and 6. Edited byJayesh Lathia, it dives deep into the shocking scale of deception, highlighting just how sophisticated and dangerous these scams can be. We discussed the edit with Jayesh who said “It was awesome bringing this story to life, weaving the narratives of love fraud victims Lauren and Lindsay against the cunning methods of ex-baseball player Christopher Lloyd. Using a combination of first-person interview, archive, and investigation with Cecile and Brianne, the drama of how Lloyd duped numerous women out of over $2 million was a stunning ride”.
Love Con Revenge is more than true-crime entertainment, it’s a call for awareness, accountability, and justice. It gives voice to survivors and offers hope that love can ultimately triumph over lies.
