"They really do mean it when they say fact is stranger than fiction – the ingenuity of the perpetrators, and the determination of those working to bring them to justice, is a marvel to listen to," he said. "To amend a much loved phrase, this podcast’ll blow your bloody socks off.”

Caine, who appeared in Alfie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Educating Rita, recently starred in Christopher Nolan's upcoming spy thriller Tenet, which is set for release on 31st July 2020.
