The phone hacking scandal that closed News of the World was big, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. At the bottom of that iceberg of 'dark arts' - hacking, burglary, bugging, and bribing bent cops - is the body of Daniel Morgan. It’s been described by an Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police as “one of the most disgraceful episodes in the entire history of the Metropolitan Police Service.” Over the three decades since Daniel was killed, five failed police investigations and an ongoing panel inquiry, his has become the most investigated murder in British history. The story moves from back streets of London, through the highest echelons of Scotland Yard, to the offices of Rupert Murdoch's best selling newspapers, to the doors of Number Ten Downing Street. If you haven't heard this story, ask yourself, why?

Aquidity ,

Absorbing story detailing an unbelievable level of corruption in the UK police

It took a little while to get a grip on the large cast of characters, but the story which spreads from a single murder, out into the nexus of police & media corruption, is gripping. However, there's quite a bit of repetition at the start of each episode, which might be useful earlier in the piece, but a little annoying later on. Hence the 4 not 5
