BBC Scotland is set to showcase an interesting two-part series which will reveal, for the first time, the untold story of a vicious gang war that tore through Glasgow housing estates in the early 1980s.
The Ice Cream Wars, which will be two 60-minute episodes, will use archive, first-hand testimony and high-end dramatic reconstruction to tell of the infamous gangland battle over the most unlikely of things - ice cream van routes. This battle would result in the murder of six members of the same, completely innocent, family, including an 18-month old baby, leading to an infamous miscarriage of justice and a crime that remains unsolved to this day.
David Harron, Commissioning Editor, BBC Scotland said: “The Ice Cream Wars is a powerful 2-part series which, as well as telling the story of a brutal feud, also explores the nature of life in some of Scotland’s most deprived communities during that period. It also looks at how the construction of new estates on the edge of the city with no infrastructure created the conditions that made these routes so lucrative and the impact of the case on the justice system with the 2 men convicted of the murders eventually walking free after 20 years.”
