Crime investigations

In September 2014, Frank Abbott heard a boy’s scream coming from an area of bushland in Australia’s New South Wales.

The scream was believed to be from three-year-old William Tyrrell who vanished from his foster grandparents’ home whilst out playing on the September morning in 2014, leaving the nation
mystified. Since then, no trace of him has ever been found and no person has ever been charged.

Journalist Caroline Overington breaks down the details of the investigation that remains one of the most extensive and exhaustive by the New South Wales Police Force to date.

Dig deep

Hugh Dennis and expert archaeologists excavate back gardens around Britain, in an attempt to uncover the lost history buried beneath our lawns and flower beds, while recruiting local people to get digging too. In this episode, Hugh and the archaeologists hope to find a Viking burial ground hidden underneath the North Yorkshire market town of Masham.

They set up the dig HQ in the town square and open up pits and trenches across the town, with a mission to discover the extent of this lost cemetery. With careful precision, they dig their way through Masham’s history, uncovering further evidence about the time period of those who were laid to rest here, and learn more about the Anglo-Saxons who lived and died in Masham over 1000 years ago.
