A new documentary is promising to lift the lid on the untold story behind Glasgow's so-called ice cream wars that tore through some of the city's roughest housing schemes in the 1980s.
The two-part BBC Scotland series The Ice Cream Wars will feature archive footage and dramatic reconstructions to give us a fresh retelling of the vicious turf wars that resulted in the mass murder of six innocent family members, including an 18-month-old baby, and an infamous miscarriage of justice and a crime that remains unsolved to this day.
And while the primary focus will be the notorious gangland battles and subsequent judicial controversy, the show, which is set to air this autumn, will also discuss the crippling deprivation that affected much of Glasgow's post-war communities of the era and how this helped create the ideal conditions for serious crime to flourish in these areas.
