For those of you that watched the first series of Underbelly, there's been another Moran murder, this time Desmond 'Tuppence' Moran, the uncle of Jason and Mark, brother of their dad Lewis. It was on the ninth anniversary of the murder of Mark. As well as the numerous headlines with 'Moran' in the title there's this little interview from 2007 where he talks about being the only one left. He was shot in the head 'execution style' a few times, and lay in the shop doorway for seven hours whilst forensics did their thing (slowly, it would seem). Someone had tried to top him in March but the gun jammed or summat. If that had happened to me I'd have probably kept on my toes a bit, rather than going to the same cafe every morning for coffee.
The creators of Underbelly are looking for subject matter to base the third series on, might not have to work too hard if this kicks off again...
*UPDATE: In a rather unexpected turn of events, his sister-in-law and widowed matriarch of the Moran gangster clan, Judy Moran, has been charged with his murder. She got pulled in, and whilst in nick allegedly ordered her house set on fire to destroy evidence. She's been denied bail due to being a potential flight risk. Mental.

was judy moran the one played by cheryl from neighbours?
On sky one tonight there's a new drama called "the take" which basically looks like an east end Underbelly, set in the 80's. No doubt you'll have it over there in a couple of months. It looks alright, though given the subject matter and location, Danny Dyer's absence from the whole thing is criminal.
