Chris Jackson meets a Teesside woman wrongly jailed for murder. Can a butcher and a grocer run a speedway club? And how did a Victorian artist capture an aerial view of Newcastle?
Chris Jackson meets a Teesside woman who is living a nightmare. Childminder Suzanne Holdsworth was jailed for the killing of toddler Kyle Fisher, but after new evidence came to light a fresh jury found her not guilty and she was freed. On the eve of a report into Cleveland Police's handling of her case, Suzanne has been speaking for the first time on television about the crippling impact the miscarriage of justice has had on her family - and the pain of trying to rebuild her life.
Just weeks before the 2009 speedway season began, Berwick Bandits had no owner. Into the limelight stepped two unlikely heroes - a local butcher and a grocer, friends who had only ever run village shops. Could they save the day and keep racing alive in Berwick? Diana Binks followed the ups and downs of the season.
And just how did he do it? John Storey, a Victorian painter with an eye for a view, captured a remarkable bird's-eye panorama of Newcastle - including landmarks yet to be built. Chris Jackson sets up his own theory on how Storey got his picture, and discovers a very personal connection to the gifted artist.
