"The idea was to make a movie ourselves with everyone playing a cameo role. Preferably before we all go, 'cos poor old Charlie Wilson was murdered, and of course Buster has gone"

This quote is from Ronald Biggs, a member of the Great Train Robbery gang. The quote is referring to the concept of making a film about the gang's break-in of the Glasgow to London mail train in 1963. The concept was to have everyone in the gang play a cameo role in the motion picture, and to do it before 2 of the gang members, Charlie Wilson and Buster, were no longer around. Charlie Wilson was murdered in 1968, and Buster had actually already passed the time the quote was made. The quote reflects the gang's desire to celebrate their story and to have a long lasting record of their actions. It likewise reveals the gang's friendship and their determination to interact to attain a typical goal. The quote is a suggestion of the gang's aspiration and their determination to make something of their story, even in the face of difficulty.
