The Pembrokesh­ire Murders: Catching The Gameshow Killer

-

ITV, 9pm Following on from the thriller series The Pembrokesh­ire Murders, this true-crime documentar­y features interviews with senior detective Steve Wilkins (right), played by Luke Evans in the drama, and his colleagues in the investigat­ion that eventually put John Cooper behind bars.

Wilkins emphatical­ly holds the attention with his plain-speaking account of the years-long process of police work that eventually led to Cooper’s conviction in 2011. The real-life Cooper (played by Keith Allen) emerges as a truly disturbing character, even if he cuts a curious figure in his TV appearance on the darts-based game show Bullseye, which proved crucial to the prosecutio­n case.

We also learn how at least one other death in the Pembrokesh­ire area may still remain unsolved...
