@@elgee6202was involved in hard drugs for 30 years and was with a high level dealer in my town. Couldn't believe my ears when he sat grassing one day when the police came to talk to him about an "incident " it happened more than once.

Yup, I binned Sky a few months ago and I don’t miss it at all. Pure shite and very expensive. I pay the 16 quid a month for TH-cam premium and it’s great.
@mj9689 yea I'm a YT premium subscriber too, decided yesterday to bin Sky and get a Firestick 😉 if you know what I mean.. neighbour across road has just done it, looks and works superb.. I'm £146 pm to Sky and been with them since 1990 !.. 90% of the channels are total shite..
I was 15 in this year but watched the cook report from the start. It is suprising how under regulated this era (pre Blair) was. A double edged sword because regulations needed to be updated, but Blair took things way too far. Its turning into a police state.
And do think the old bill will be any better under them labour clowns …they’re all the same once they get behind that door with the number ten on it ,a bunch of self serving opportunist chancers on the fiddle to line their own and business colleagues pockets ..they all go to university to learn how to lie and cheat us folk properly ..
And now the sia, a wonderful governing body are robbing all security personnel through fees and extra costs. If all this training and cost led to a better payday then great, but most are still on minimum wage. How are you supposed to protect while knowing how little your value is?
Someone told us in his youth he was a boxer, not sure at what level i think national service or at university not professional, but if you see his news reports in the 70s you can see he was actually pretty well built.
@@user-eg4oh8gd9f sure was its like Pakistan now I moved over to Gateshead that's worse looking for a better place to live somewhere on the coast line so I can fish
yes apparently it was the production company that chose to fake or sensationalise them more than what they were, i dont think cook himself was responsible, he just reported on the intelligence but i recall the production were found guilty of it. The steroids programme which included the Gladiators was one of them I beleive as steroids back then were completely legal and recommended to use unless it was competitive sport but they chose to treat it like it was cocaine. Looking at it now it does look pretty rediculous!
@@Pieface10 My cousin worked with Dave Courtney, he has some stories about him and none of them are very interesting, mainly because he says Dave is a bore, and coward he gets the heavies to do the bidding. Dave only did the easy jobs, he got away with so much for palming off police officers and naming and shaming to the police. He was considered a joke by some gangsters. A lot of movies he starred in were tax write-offs. My cousin saw a fair bit of Mad Frankie but never had problems with him apart from one occasion when my cousin short-changed him purely by accident. Frankie hated Dave Courtney with a passion.
@@randlemcmurphy4983 yeah he going on about a load of white label obscure techno 90s stuff i couldnt keep up, it was john peel level conversation, and i saw Rancid had written a (pretty cheesy) song about him so i assume he must have rubbed shoulders with some skinhead/punks back in his youth and those people probably went on to become music promoters who booked Rancid in the 90s and they all clicked, that must have been an odd sight.
They went on to have a war with well known police informant and kiddie porn addict paddy conroy. He got a long prison sentence for torturing one of there lackies.

18:40 same as in Wales a couple of months ago…
Roger was the best at this type of reporting. The man had no fear. We just don’t have shows as good as that these days.
Absolutely.
He didn't give a tosh, even with a bad tash on !
Roger is up there with norris and seagal in my eyes
He was a fearless reporter, exposing scumbags, using their violent reputation to instil fear in people.
Also, exposing those in public life using their position for their own personal gain
Watched all cook reports on TV when they first aired. Brilliant 👍
Same here, it was essential weekly viewing
Once again amazing professionalism from the camera crew. No matter how much they are attacked they keep filming
Getting attacked is an incentive to keep filming. It’s also proof of assault if needed.
Roger Cook was completely fearless back then. The show uncovered so many wrong doings it was a pleasure to watch.
You can tell Courtney was a high level police informant
No doubt. you dont get to the top of the tree in security in London without plods help and vica versa?
Tommy Mac shows his face 😂
he probably still is
@CARLIN4737 you don't get to the top of your game in any illegal business anywhere in the UK without grassing.

Love this channel and Cook what a legend ❤
When TV was half decent. Can't stand it today
Nowdays lgbts present tv shows, back then tv reporters would chase them down the street and they would be denying they are lgbt...

FYI Vinnie died in 2011 - fell down stairs. Just goes to show, something.
Cant help but think about G4S watching this 😂
Lol 👍🏻👍🏻
Roger Cook - Hero 👌🏼
Roger cook went looking for Dave Courtney expecting him to hide away 😂😂😂😂 he got invited onto a boat for a full on great interview
We need the cook report now to show up what police won’t or can’t do to protect the people
Dave 'I'm a grass and a wannabe gangster' Courtney
you wouldn't say that to his face. He's still the daddy!
Great stuff! Have you got the episode about the yardies? Trying to find that one for ages.
Its on youtube but not sure if it is on this channel.
@@simonzonenblick395I searched and couldn't find it 😢

Poorly resourced police! Now that sounds like a period of Tory government.

@Rebellion1 Law abiding citizen exposes criminals vs brainless idiot on TH-cam with an IQ of 55.
He had a gun licence because of his work.

I reckon he secretly didn’t mind being assaulted 😅
Delighted that George Graham chose the right path and ended up managing a first division football club.
Well so many people have criminal convictions you'd be banging your head on a brick wall trying to employ ones that haven't.
Tv now is full of criminals especially the adverts
Loved Mr cook
The 90s was like the wild west.
Yeah it’s true. I was born in 87. And I remember the 90s. There was gansters in our local housing estate. And just all sorts going on
Its one thing for a burglar to steal your 📺 but quite another for you to pay him to do it 😂😂😂
cook didnt give fuck what a ledge lol
What happened with the Cook report a few years ago, were they not accused of faking stories or something? I recall something in the news about it.
I thought David Cameron shut it down when he worked for Calton TV.🤔
yes apparently it was the production company that chose to fake or sensationalise them more than what they were, i dont think cook himself was responsible, he just reported on the intelligence but i recall the production were found guilty of it.

You could call the program propaganda then
This was prior to the U.K. SiA standards. A good move we made.
Is Tommy Mac in this doc ? 😂
I thought he said Vicky Pollard😆
Thats our house the george graham one ,, was my brothers mate 😂
17:46 extorted her so much she cant pay the 'leccy bill!😅
I think this might have inspired Limmy's sketch Vijay - Bandstand
I'm guessing this helped bring about CRB checks & eventually SIA licences? 🤔
The old problem reaction solution, guess this program was the platform informing the public of the problem eh?
The size of that guy in the blue suit! Holy f*ck! 1:30

Well ahead of its time. CRB checks didnt come in till 2002.
