Episode 17 - The Journalist
We've found ourselves focussing on a series of horrific crimes perpetrated in Belgium. A crime spree that involved a very tall man - A man known as The Giant by the Belgian police. We needed to know more about this man to see if there was any potential link to the Gentleman. There was one person who we could turn to; A journalist who has been covering that case for over 20 years - and it's a fascinating story.

We are on the lookout for Giants, and we've found a 6'5" man who is acquitted of murder, with striking similarities to the Gentleman, but that all depends on what happens to him afterwards? And is he the only giant we need to be taking a much closer look at?
