Episode 2

After a week of evidence for the prosecution, attention turns to the defence, as the accused prepares to give his account to the court. Aren Pearson takes to the witness stand to give evidence in his own defence, denying responsibility for the killing of his girlfriend Claire Leveque. But he faces intense questioning from the Crown as further evidence is presented in court. As his account is challenged, moments of testimony leave the jury stunned, with the courtroom visibly moved and left in tears. Away from the proceedings, Claire's family make an emotional journey to Sandness in Shetland. It is a painful pilgrimage. With all the evidence now heard, the jury retires to deliberate. The emotional weight of the case is undeniable. But the question at the heart of the trial remains unresolved: has the Crown done enough to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt?

Shakespeare & Hathaway - Private Investigators

Frank Hathaway, a hardboiled private investigator, and his rookie sidekick Lu Shakespeare form the unlikeliest of partnerships as they investigate the secrets of rural Warwickshire's residents.

Beneath the picturesque charm lies a hotbed of mystery and intrigue: extramarital affairs, celebrity stalkers, missing police informants, care home saboteurs, rural rednecks and murderous magicians, embezzling accountants and abducted au pairs, blackmail, comp claims and custody cases, all-night stake-outs and professional hits. Our odd couple of detectives will put the world to rights as they snoop and pry. They disagree on almost everything, yet somehow, together, they make a surprisingly effective team. Although they would never admit it.
