RadioTimes.com can reveal an exclusive clip from the upcoming docuseries, in which Kray's scrapbook takes centre stage.
The clip confirms Reggie wanted to be famous as young as 16, when he began collecting newspaper cuttings recollecting the twins' crimes.
The clip reveals the event that saw their names recorded in a newspaper for the first time: a fight outside a dancehall in Hackney in March 1950. Reggie would go on to add to the scrapbook over the following 15 years.
Following their attack on a youth, they threatened a witness who would have testified against them, a story Reggie also saved in the scrapbook.
