#Gangland undercover season 2 ep 10 tv#
I remember thinking that The History Channel really messed up what could have been an otherwise great TV show. I just wanted to be able to watch the characters interact - to get to the meat. It seemed quite disruptive and irritating especially when it happened during a tense action scene. As I watched this episode it kept cutting away to have the real Falco give some narration. So I was pretty interested in checking out "Falco's" undercover story to see real-life danger and a world that is completely different than my own. (I do go into these knowing that some leeway has to be given to the facts so that it can make for good TV viewing.). I enjoy watching TV shows/movies that are based on true life. "It’s very different doing these things on a weekend civilian course and doing it for real," he explained.I ended up watching episode 1 only because it came on after Vikings. But Mr Ingram said this is not likely to have helped him during his time on the run. And clearly that’s what he did or was trying to do."Ī former military colleague had described how Khalife was obsessed with the SAS and would go on solo weekend survival excursions during his time serving. He would have wanted to go to ground somewhere until all the furore died down before he made any bigger moves. The fact he only moved a few miles from the prison, I wouldn’t read too much into that. Compared to say five miles in an open countryside environment. "And a huge number of areas he can hide in plain sight. five miles in a built up city, there’s a huge amount of areas he can hide in," he said. He was found just miles from the prison and from where he grew up in Kingston. Police were patrolling potential escape routes, with all transport hubs across the UK on alert, but Mr Ingram said it is not clear if this caused Khalife to change his plans.

"Listening to some of his ex military comrades, he was a guy who liked to fool around, he was a jack the lad. It’s even more ambitious if he has done it alone but not impossible. However, he added: "He may not have had a proper plan and it got to the point where he was hungry and was just going to get try find some food or move elsewhere."Īsked if it is likely he had help from the outside or had simply run out of options, trying to do it all on his own, Mr Ingram said: "On balance I think he probably has had some help from the outside. He went on to say it is likely Khalife was "working on the principle that moving continuously would make it harder for the find me".
It’s a very successful police operation."ĬCTV footage of the truck Khalife clung to in order to escape prison (Image: Met Police) "The police officer who arrested him would’ve been tipped off that he was coming along the tow path and would have counted down as he was getting closer, so the officer could step out and grab him. He might have thought there’d be less people on a tow path but he wouldn’t have realised the extent of the police operation there was. But we don’t know where he was going or why. He’s managed to get his hands on a bicycle and other bits and pieces. Mr Ingram - who previously told the Mirror cops had a 48-hour window to catch the fugitive - said: "There’s too many not knowns with this, he’s clearly gone to ground for some reason, managed to get a change of clothes. He was detained next to a sleeping bag and some Waitrose groceries, having taken off the distinctive chef's clothes. He said Khalife had likely been trying to hide in plain sight, but suggested things may not have been going to plan for him when he was caught.
