The Investigator: A British Crime Story - Season 2

Season 2

Mark Williams-Thomas returns to ITV for an explosive and ground-breaking new series of The Investigator: A British Crime Story, showing how real life crime can be far more compelling than fiction.

In this three-part series Williams-Thomas, the award-winning former police detective who unmasked Jimmy Savile as the UK's most notorious paedophile, digs into several infamous missing women and unsolved murder cases, uncovering new evidence that links them to two of Britain's most notorious killers - Peter Tobin and Angus Sinclair.

He opens his investigation by exploring the case of Louise Kay, an 18-year-old who disappeared from Eastbourne, East Sussex, in 1988 along with her distinctive Ford Fiesta, after her family asks for his help. The story takes a sinister turn as he uncovers the cases of other women who vanished in similar circumstances and the true scale of the number of missing women and unsolved murder cases across the country emerges.

He also investigates the unsolved murders of Anna Kenny, Agnes Cooney and Hilda McAuley - who were all abducted and killed with four months of each other in Glasgow in 1977.

He goes on the trail of his two prime suspects Tobin and Sinclair and there is a series of revelations about the notorious killers. Both killers, now old men, are serving life for murder. But police believe they have killed more women and Williams-Thomas seeks answers for their suspected victims' families before it's too late.

Episode 3

Mark Williams-Thomas's investigation uncovers another Glasgow murder that bears all the hallmarks of suspected serial killer Angus Sinclair. There is just one problem - unlike the murders of Anna Kenny, Agnes Cooney and Hilda McAuley, this crime has already been solved. A week after 37-year-old baker Frances Barker's body was discovered, lorry driver Thomas Ross Young was arrested, and was subsequently jailed for life. The investigator tries to establish whether the police got the wrong man - or if there could be another explanation. Last in the series.

The Repair Shop

The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
