INSIDE THE STORY.
Street Crime UK’s description identifies Steven “Bonzo” Daniel as the survivor of an attempted murder and says six men were found guilty of a series of attempted murders against people associated with the Daniel family. That wording is important to the companion: the specific event described is an attempted killing. The film belongs beside the two-part Lyons–Daniels series, but its tighter focus offers a way to examine the consequences of an individual attack within that larger account.
A survivor at the centre
The description concentrates on the serious injuries Daniel sustained. Their significance can be explained without reproducing graphic language: this is an account of harm experienced by a named person, rather than an abstract exchange between rival groups. The circumstances and consequences deserve attention beyond the dramatic reputation attached to the feud.
Six convictions, several incidents
The description refers to six men and a series of attempted murders. It does not set out the individual counts or sentences. When following the film, keep the account of the attack on Daniel distinct from the other incidents and from the conduct attributed to each defendant.
A case within a family narrative
Placed alongside the broader Lyons–Daniels documentaries, this film changes the scale of the story. Family names provide context, while specific attacks and court outcomes provide points that can be examined. The most revealing comparison is how the series connects those two levels without allowing the idea of a feud to replace the details of each case.
THREE QUESTIONS THE FILM RAISES

- What evidence is presented for the role attributed to each defendant?
