  • In every murder investigation, there's one key item that could bring a killer to justice. But finding it....and knowing what evidence it contains....well that's the challenge. Because the smoking gun could be anything. A bouquet of flowers...a Chinese meal...a mosquito. In this series we tell the remarkable true stories of how everyday items such as these have been the key to unlocking a criminal case. And we unpack the science - revealing the cutting edge techniques and the disciplines mastered over decades, which allow specialist forensic scientists to find this evidence. Hosted by the UK's most prominent forensic scientist Tracy Alexander. Smoking Gun is a What's The Story original series.

  • On 11th May 1985, Bradford City FC were playing in the final match of the season. It was a day of celebration that saw 11,076 supporters at Bradford’s ground, Valley Parade, to see the club collect its first trophy for 56 years. But minutes before half time, smoke began rising from one of the stands. And within four minutes a fire engulfed one side of the ground, reaching a temperature of 900 degrees Celsius. 56 men, women and children were killed and 265 were injured. It was one of the most deadly fires in British history. And an inquiry found it had all started because of a dropped cigarette - a tragic accident. But to some, there is an alternative ending. They believe that the fire was no accident. That the facts are more sinister, that the fire has links to organised crime, a cover up and even the British government. Now, British journalist, presenter and filmmaker Mobeen Azhar embarks on a journey to find out what really happened that day. In this compelling eight-part series created by What’s The Story Sounds, Mobeen goes back to his place of birth in West Yorkshire to speak to survivors of the Bradford City Fire, to police officers, to witnesses and to those involved in the inquiry. And he uncovers a remarkable new claim which forces him to question everything he thought he knew about the incident. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
