Trivia

Based on the real-life case of Det. Superintendent Steve Fulcher, who, whilst investigating a young woman's disappearance, broke a number of police procedural rules in order to get the prime suspect to confess and reveal the location of the victim. The suspect also simultaneously confessed to the abduction and murder of another young woman several years before. As the suspect had not been formally cautioned and advised of his rights by Fulcher, the case was put in jeopardy. Fulcher's actions were heavily criticised in court and by his superiors and, following disciplinary action, he eventually resigned from the force but does not regret his behaviour given the circumstances.

User Reviews

Great drama

I can't understand all the pedantic reviews about camerawork,this is a great drama spoilt only because it's shown on itv interrupting the flow of the story,also I think Martin freeman is a great actor in everything he has played.the trouble with this is it's spread over so many weeks I will download the remaining episodes and binge.Once again cannot understand the negative reviews.
