6:56Now Playing"In an escape like this, whose side are you instinctively on - the escaped man, or the police?"
Charlie Wilson - a member of the Great Train Robbery gang - escaped from HMP Winson Green on the 12th August, after spending just four months in prison. He remains at large.
How do the British public feel about Wilson? If they spotted him on the street, would they inform the police - or would they help him? Magnus Magnusson interviews members of the public to find out.
This clip is from Tonight, originally broadcast 21 August, 1964.
