The Guilty Innocent with Christopher Eccleston NEW!

True crime, history, factual

The Guilty Innocent with Christopher Eccleston is a gripping new crime series that explores two of the most intriguing, controversial cases in British history.
Each meticulously researched episode will see EMMY award-winning actor Christopher Eccleston lead an in-depth contemporary investigation into some of the world’s most infamous cases of possible wrongful convictions.    
Using archive footage, talking head interviews with historical experts and cinematic reconstruction, each exciting close-ended episode will bring to life these fascinating stories and explore why and how the system may have got the wrong person and what it says about our world today.  
The Guilty Innocent tells sensational stories without being sensationalistic. Each methodically researched case will be presented in painstaking detail. The panel of experts guiding viewers through each episode will present every nuance, every twist, every turn and feature with authority and an eye for the human impact of these two incredible cases.  
Each episode will also feature never-before-seen interviews with the surviving family members of the two men - George Davis and James Hanratty - who are the respective centres of each episode. The Guilty Innocent will take the measure not just of the legal wranglings and tabloid controversies related to the A6 murder and the London Electricity Board robbery, but also the human cost of each, the lives turned upside down, the people forever altered. 
The Guilty Innocent is a true crime show with a difference. Its focus, over and above anything else, is on the truth, which, as the show will demonstrate, can often be more surprising than fiction.
