Mr Cruel

The heinous attacks on Melbourne children in the late 1980s and early 1990s, attributed to the elusive Mr Cruel, shocked the nation and led to extensive investigations. Despite efforts, the case remains unsolved, leaving families without answers for decades.

The upcoming episode, airing at 7.30pm, features esteemed investigative journalist Adam Shand and renowned Behavioral Analyst Steve van Aperen, also known as "The Human Lie Detector." The duo's investigation introduces new evidence and insights that could potentially reshape the narrative surrounding Mr Cruel.

The program scrutinises the long-held belief that Mr Cruel's crimes were escalating, culminating in the tragic murder of Karmein Chan, and questions whether these acts were indeed the work of a single individual.

In a significant moment, a survivor of Mr Cruel's attacks will break their silence, sharing their story for the first time. This development, along with new DNA evidence, raises hopes of finally identifying and apprehending the perpetrator.

Adam Shand stated, "We owe it to the community, the police, but most importantly the victims who are sort of frozen in time, victims of Mr Cruel, when in fact that individual does not exist."

Steve van Aperen added, "It's closure. Not just for the victims but for the victims' families and the detectives who were working 18-hour days and are devastated there was no resolution.

This had a ripple effect for so many people, and it's now time for this to be reviewed, looked at and taken further."

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
