  • Engaging

    Not knowing much about the subject matter I found it to be both engaging and disturbing. The format was ideal for short car journeys and left me eager to find out more. The presentation had the right mix of entertainment and serious investigation. A real whodunnit?

  • Best In The Business

    Another excellent series from a pair quickly cementing their reputation as the best in the business at what they do. The episodes are punchy, things move along quickly, and they clearly are relentless - working for weeks behind the scenes, which really informs the reporting. Worth every penny of the licence fee. Highly recommend.
