The Great Bookie Robbery is a 1986 Australian mini series about a 1976 crime known as the Great Bookie Robbery. It aired over three consecutive nights from the 15th to 17 September.
The series got modest ratings figures but won its timeslot over the three nights, peaking at 22, 21 and 20 respectively. The series won best mini-series and best direction at the 1987 AFI Awards.
Anthony Dennis of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote a mixed review stating "It is smartlymade with spotless acting, the mandatory gratuitous violence (done with a degree of style), and a thoughtful use of the mundane urban locations. However, it does lack the intrigue involved in the planning of the crime. There's a feeling that reading press clippings from the day is more compelling than watching the series." Richard Coleman also of The Sydney Morning Herald gave it a positive review concluding "We've seen some excellent cop shows this year in Widows and Edge of Darkness. The Great Bookie Robbery was in the same class."
