However, Netflix fans can now enjoy Sheridan Smith’s 2012 ITV drama Mrs Biggs via the streaming service as the show is now available to watch.
The drama stars Sheridan Smith as Charmian Biggs, Daniel Mays as Ronnie Biggs, Mickey Morris as Nickey Biggs and Adrian Scarborough as Bernard Powell.
The series follows the true story of the wife of train robber Ronnie Biggs, documenting her life as a young woman and mother of their children. She later won a BAFTA Award for her portrayal.
The Great Train Robbery, which took place in 1963, saw £2.61 million stolen from a Royal Mail train travelling from Glasgow to London in the early hours of an August morning. The group tampered with signals which meant the train was brought to a stop, where they ambushed the stash and ran off with the millions.
