Beyond Reasonable Doubt

16th May 1990 Season 9 Episode 6

The Broadwater Farm riots and the murder of PC Keith Blakelock in October 1985 led to a ten-week trial and life sentence for three young men - Engin Raghip , Mark Braithwaite and Winston Silcott. All three convictions were based on uncorroborated confessions obtained by the police in the absence of solicitors. There were no witnesses and no forensic evidence. Charles Wheeler examines the murder investigation and the ensuing trial, and questions whether any of the three should have been convicted.

Ratcatchers

Most of us shudder when we see a rat. Nearly all of us call for help. Ratcatchers are the men who come to answer our calls and soothe us. Those calls increased by 20 per cent last year. City rats live in our sewers. Here they multiply in a nice warm environment and we throw away an ever increasing amount of waste which sustains them and their young. From time to time they break out of the sewers bringing disease and destroying property. Some even appear in our toilet bowls.
