The Hunt For Shannon Matthews (2025)
Featuring testimony from friends, neighbours, journalists and detectives at the heart of the search for Shannon Matthews, this is the inside story of a case that became a defining moment in British public life, a missing child caught in the middle of a media frenzy, and a case that sparked debates that still resonate today. This two-part series explores how truth, trust and community unravelled under the weight of suspicion and scrutiny.
