Programmes

Since launching in 2007, FirstLookTV has secured three documentary commissions and a series of themed programmes around the issue of Stalking. As you'll see from the clips on this page, our approach is to gain unique and exclusive access to key players in a story.

So, in Dunblane Remembered, viewers met Eileen Harrild, the teacher who was running the gym session when the killer, Hamilton, first burst in. She was first to be shot and until this documentary had not described the appalling events which followed.

In, The Suffolk Strangler, the UK Crown Prosecution Service gave total access to us to examine in minute detail the process which led to the capture, arrest and conviction of serial killer, Steven Wright.

Additionally, close friends of the murdered girls gave - again for the first time – exclusive interviews which offered revealing insights to the characters of the victims and of the killer himself who they both knew intimately.

This same access-first approach will be present on a soon to be transmitted documentary about victims of Stalking.

FirstLookTV will always offer this compelling template for programme-making. Great story-telling, access to those directly involved in the stories we tell and sound journalistic and production values.

For more on how our broadcasters presented these programmes, here are some useful links.

Dunblane Remembered / 2007

Amongst our first programmes are two featured on this website. Dunblane Remembered first aired as 'Dunblane Ten Years On' on Britain's Channel Five and was placed in several territories. The reversioned programme was adapted for the 'Crime' channel on Sky Television. The programme is still available to broadcasters as is the haunting music from this documentary and serves as a constant reminder about the need for vigilance when considering gun legislation. A half–hour version, The Dunblane Massacre, is available from this company.

The Suffolk Strangler / 2008

'The Suffolk Strangler' which was produced by the programme's reporter, Luke Hanrahan. The documentary offers unique access to the Crown Prosecution Service and Police in Suffolk as they first caught and then successfully convicted the serial killer, Steven Wright. It also offers a unique insight into the grim world of prostitutes in this archetypal 'Middle England' town. The premiere of the documentary achieved huge ratings for the Sky-based Crime Channel and it is due to be aired throughout 2008 on both 'Crime' and The History Channel. A half–hour, reversioned programme 'Catching a Serial Killer' is available through our company.
