A birdwatching getaway in the Peak District that should have been uneventful was the inspiration for this episode, with my wife and I accidentally choosing to stay just a few hundred yards from the scene of a notorious set of murders, which we learned about by chance. It seems that true crime follows me everywhere… (my wife still doesn’t believe that I really didn’t know when we booked it!)
The lives of an escaped criminal and an unsuspecting family converge in a dramatic and bloody home invasion set against the cold, bleak, back-drop of Beeley Moor in 1977, a period which would become known as the ‘Year of the Knife’. This episode covers the Pottery Cottage murders and culminates in an explosive finale, while the next instalment will explore the Gunn Hill killings, which took place just a month later.
