The Mafia is usually associated with Italy and the USA. But in his new docuseries, ex- EastEnders star Ross Kemp is examining just how far the Mob has infiltrated the UK.

As Kemp recounts, for most people the first sign that the Mafia was operating in the UK came in 1982, when the body of Vatican banker Roberto Calvi, dubbed ‘God’s Banker’, was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London.
