BBC 5 Live’s latest podcast series, Gangster: The Story of the Daniels and the Lyons, explores one of Scotland’s most brutal criminal feuds between two notorious families.

Investigative journalist Livvy Haydock hosts this gripping six-part series, launching on 3 December on BBC Sounds, which chronicles a violent conflict that has terrorised north Glasgow for over two decades.

The podcast delves into a harrowing saga of organised crime, featuring machete attacks and brutal shootings, systematic torture and murder, families torn apart by violence, and witnesses forced into protective custody.

A pivotal moment highlighted in the series is the brazen daylight murder of Daniels enforcer Kevin “the Gerbil” Carroll, which sent shockwaves across the country as shoppers and children fled in terror.

The investigation traces the feud’s origins from Glasgow’s scrap yards to global drug networks, including the dramatic story of Zander Sutherland, who fled to Norway while fighting extradition.

Veteran crime reporter Norman Silvester describes the conflict as a “murder and mayhem” dispute that has escalated from an unpaid drugs debt into a relentless cycle of violence.

“It’s very difficult to get anyone in the city to talk openly,” Silvester explains. “Both crime families are well-connected, with their influence spreading far and wide.”

Journalist David Leslie offers a chilling conclusion: “It’s never going to be resolved. This dispute will go on till the end of time.”

Gangster: The Story of the Daniels and the Lyons promises to be the most explosive true-crime podcast of the year, offering unprecedented insights into Glasgow’s underworld.

Listen to Gangster: The Story of the Daniels and the Lyons on BBC Sounds on 3 December, and on other platforms weekly.
