Real Crime

- Season 2

(2002)

After a fatal road rage stabbing, police hunt for the culprit, only to discover a face from the past - the man who had previously stabbed to death one of their officers.

The 800-year old double jeopardy law is thrown under the spotlight when the previously acquitted murderer of 22-year old Julie Hogg confesses to the crime. His mother believes the law should change so that he can face justice.

Calculating killers who try to hide their guilt behind brazen public displays of grief and crocodile tears for the victims, often making cynical televised appeals for information and breaking down convincingly in front of the cameras.

A documentary on the life of John Bindon, real-life London villain who took on acting roles after Ken Loach cast him as a crook in the film 'Poor Cow'.

Contributors include girl-friend actress Vicki Hodge,who was shocked by some of the things in which he involved her, 'geezer' actors George Sewell and Billy Murray and David Bowie's first wife,Angie,who was taken by his party trick - hanging several pint mugs off his member. Presumably this also appealed to Princess Margaret,with whom he stayed on Mustique,...

The 1970 death of two children in a woodland copse, long-regarded by police as being due to hypothermia, is finally solved 30 years later when a prisoner confesses to murder.

The first ever use of DNA in a criminal case.
