STEPHEN: THE MURDER THAT CHANGED A NATION, 9PM, BBC1

ON AN April evening in 1993, teenager Stephen Lawrence was waiting at a bus stop in Eltham, South-East London when he was brutally murdered by a gang of white men, purely because of the colour of his skin. Airing on consecutive nights, this major new three-part documentary charts Stephen’s horrific murder, the police investigation that followed and his grief-stricken parents Doreen and Neville’s long campaign for justice, supported by the Daily Mail. This first episode focuses on the run-up to the senseless crime and the initial, flawed investigation.
