A Confession

In 1984, when the Police and Criminal Evidence Act replaced the antiquated Judges Rules, nobody could have foreseen the dreadful consequences that this drama so vividly portrays. It would have been inconceivable that police procedures would have become paramount and the realities of dead bodies and grieving relatives judicially disregarded.

This story should be compulsory viewing for anyone who cares about our criminal justice system. The background and sub-plots are exceptionally realistic and the acting is superb. An excellent programme.
