Fellow inmate Julie McAllister tells, for the first time on television, how she turned on West, attacking her in the canteen.A host of powerful contributors, including former prison governor Veronica Bird OBE, police officers and prison visitors, describe how Hindley manipulated people in jail, even persuading a female guard to help her escape, revealing the devious charm she used to lure children to their deaths. We also gain insight into Hindley’s and West’s relationship with their men, how they became killing couples but turned against the men after conviction. Following Hindley’s death, West became the most infamous female prisoner. We discover her life now: happy knitting, watching television and, shunned by her family, chatting with one last friend but refusing to face her crimes. Show more Show less

This new drama documentary series reveals the real story behind this resurrection: the manoeuvres of the powerful to keep the line of succession within the royal family and the rivalry between ambitious royal advisors, which ultimately lead to the downfall of the dynasty and the rise of a new royal line. This is one of ancient history’s biggest cover ups and takes viewers on one of the most extraordinary archaeological detective chases ever undertaken. With the help of the world’s leading historians, artefacts will be forensically analysed for clues to expose the real story behind the cold-blooded end of one of the world’s greatest ancient civilisations.

Egyptologist Zahi Hawass leads Egypt’s biggest excavation in a century, in search of the missing tomb of Tut’s step-mother, the queen of Egypt’s Golden Age, Queen Nefertiti. Hawass believes the undiscovered tombs of Tutankhamun’s family are in the Valley of the Kings’ last tract of wilderness, the lesser-known West Valley. Here lie the tombs of Tut’s grandfather Akhenaten and his successor Ay. Hawass believes that the missing family members lie in between these two tombs. Thousands of tons of rubble lie between Hawass and any royal discovery. He has 150 workers and 6 months to reveal the archaeological discovery of the century.Hugh wrote the script and directed the edit. This production presented a number of creative challenges. Firstly, to tell the story of Nefertiti, for whom few usable images exist and without using drama. Hugh overcame this by working with a VFX house to create a 3D model of Nefertiti. Using a similar approach for other key family members, he devised a dynamic 3D family tree. These characters could be used to both to tell the story of the family saga and articulate to which family member artefacts coming out of the ground might have belonged to. A second challenge was to ensure audiences could get their bearings within two valleys consisting of uniform walls of yellow stone with no discernable features. Hugh turned the West Valley into a key character within the film. Using a photogrammetric survey the VFX team created photo real 3D models of each valley. Experiential fly throughs allowed audiences both to follow the physical archaeological excavation and understand the relationship between tombs and family members. Constructing 3D representations of tombs beneath ground allowed audiences to transition seamlessly from VFX to actuality. Show more Show less

In 1971 Manson was convicted for the murder of 7 people, including the movie star Sharon Tate. Following Manson's arrest in 1969 and whilst the family was still at its height, one young filmmaker gained access into the Cult. He filmed over 100 hours of 16mm interviews with Manson family members and took thousands of photographs. For over 45 years the material has been locked away. Until now. INSIDE THE MANSON CULT explores the lost tapes to reveal both how and why Manson controlled the minds of his followers. These candid 1969 testimonies give a chilling insight into the manipulated minds of the Manson family. Through present day interviews, with some of the same characters, we hear how and why Manson brainwashed his family to the point of murder. We begin to understand the psychology of Manson through cult expert Rick Ross and the FBI’s most pre-eminent criminal profiler, John E Douglas. John’s work as a criminal psychologist inspired the FBI lead characters in both the series MINDHUNTER and the film THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Douglas interviewed Manson and the 6 family members convicted of murder, to gain an understanding of how Manson radicalised his followers. Even from his prison cell Manson had absolute power over his family. We hear from the core team involved in the case at the time. The prosecuting lawyer, police and journalists explain how even during the trial the Manson family continued to commit murder on Charlie’s behalf. The Manson family are suspected of killing up to 35 people.'When somebody needs to be killed, there is no wrong, you do it and you kill whoever gets in your way, this is us.'Sandra Good _ Manson Family Member [Inside the Manson Cult : The Lost Tapes] Show more Show less
