Steve Punt turns private investigator to reopen a mysterious case of collapsing children.
One summer's day in 1980, at a junior jazz band festival in Nottinghamshire, hundreds of children were suddenly taken ill and fainted. They fell like dominoes; the showground was littered with bodies, the arena like a battlefield.
Many of the children feel they never got answers as to what really happened that morning.
Steve investigates, to find out if it was food poisoning or something a little more sinister.
Producer: Sarah Bowen.
