Available for over a year

On October 5th 1974, two bombs exploded in pubs in Guildford, Surrey. On November 21st that same year, two more devastated pubs in Birmingham. The events that followed led to the most serious challenge for British justice in modern times. This is the story of how Chris Mullin investigated the cases as a young journalist, exposing the mistakes and corruption within the police investigations, and tracking down some of the real bombers. He reveals why these cases became the most significant miscarriages of justice in modern times, and why wrongful convictions - like the Post Office cases - still happen today.
