A Family Affair: My dad was Britain's 'most wanted'

Without realising it, Nick Reynolds had been living his childhood on the run. He would find out why when, as a young boy, his home was stormed by police.

Early one morning in 1968, a young Nick Reynolds answered his front door – completely oblivious to the whirlwind about to be unleashed on his family. Most of his childhood had been spent carefree and happy on the warm shores of Mexico with his parents. But, all the while, Nick had been growing up in the shadow of one of the most notorious crimes of the twentieth century.
