Second of a two-part documentary exploring the 1968 case in which three women were killed after a night of dancing, triggering Scotland’s largest manhunt. In November 1969, Helen Puttock was found dead after she went out dancing at the Barrowland Ballroom with her sister. She was the third woman to have been murdered in similar circumstances, and Glasgow detectives now feared that they were dealing with a serial killer. Journalist Magnus Linklater recounts the interview he conducted with Helen’s sister Jeannie Williams, who was with her the night she was killed. Jeannie left Helen in a taxi with a man named John, who they had met at the Barrowland earlier that night. Jeannie’s testimony about the mysterious red-haired, smart-suited man with crooked teeth who quoted from the Bible would form the basis of the biggest manhunt Scotland had ever seen. This is the story of that incredible and groundbreaking investigation, and the extraordinary effort made by the police, led by DSI Joe Beattie, to try and find the killer.

Eight years ago, mountain biker Sean Green set himself an immense challenge - to take his bike up and down all of Scotland’s highest mountains, the Munros. This documentary follows Sean as he reaches the final stages of his epic project. Sean has loved bikes and Scotland’s hills from a young age, and one day he decided to combine the two by taking his bike to the top of all 282 Munros in Scotland. Munros are Scottish mountains with a height of over 3,000 feet, many with difficult terrain and dangerous conditions. It's no mean feat, especially when there’s the Scottish weather to contend with, and the logistics of travelling to some of the most remote areas in the country while also working full-time and being with his family. It might have taken a little longer than he first expected, but Sean has never given up on his dream. With Sean nearing the end of the challenge, we follow him as he tackles some of Scotland’s most remote Munros in Fisherfield in the north west Highlands, and two mountains in the iconic Cuillin ridge on the Isle of Skye. The documentary shows what one man’s determination, skill, patience and audacity can achieve.

It's January 2021, three years and three months since Tony Parsons disappeared in Bridge of Orchy while on a charity cycle ride. Detectives have made a crucial breakthrough in the search for Tony that leads them to the vast Auch Estate, in the Highlands, where, according to witness information, the body of Tony Parsons is buried. The detectives follow directions to a field, where they find a Red Bull can crushed into the ground. The long and painstaking search uncovers Tony’s body. From the moment the body is found, the investigation takes a dramatic turn. We follow detectives as they gather evidence and build a complex case against the suspects. Alongside this, intimate interviews with Tony’s loved ones capture the profound impact of this discovery and their long wait for justice, culminating in the 2023 criminal trial, where the full truth of what happened to Tony unfolds before the High Court, finally bringing to light a story that had remained hidden for six years.

As Darren sets out to examine the power imbalance that lies at the heart of social class, he begins to wonder whether the system is rigged - and, if so, what can be done? Meeting a living history buff, he finds out how class was first militarised by the Roman Army – a legacy which carries through today in the British Army. Returning to his Pollok birthplace, he meets two anti-poll tax aristocrats who fought Margaret Thatcher's government over their policy and travels to Inverclyde to witness a community battling rampant health inequalities and the legacy of the coronavirus pandemic. Setting his sights on the workplace, Darren discusses the worrying increase in suicide and meets a campaign group trying to challenge the seemingly unstoppable rise of zero-hours contracts. Over a gentlemanly game of polo, Darren finds out how the ‘other side’ views things, meeting Scotland’s first ever homegrown billionaire to ask if philanthropy is the answer. And he touches one of the big live wires in this debate - corporate evasion versus benefit fraud. Why is one lionised and the other demonised? Is it power to the people? Or does it depend on who the people are.

Brooke, Erin and Emma are part of a handful of young women now edging their way into Britain’s fishing fleet. They call themselves fishermen, not fisherwomen. Twenty-year-old rookie Brooke has been nominated for a trainee fisherman award, Erin works on a trawler, hauling prawns for up to a fortnight at a time in the far-flung waters of the North Atlantic, and 19-year-old Emma is the skipper of her own creel boat. As crews age and vessels lie idle for lack of hands, their stories ask whether ‘female fishermen’ could save the industry – and whether the old guard will let them work alongside them.

In remote Sutherland, a 32-year-old father of two has been missing for 48 hours. Being a bushcraft expert, he went out with only a small amount of provisions and the clothes on his back. With little information about his planned route, the local officers unite with mountain rescue and coastguard to trawl the area, leaving no stone unturned. The weather was mild when the missing man set out, but the unpredictable Scottish weather is due to turn, with a blizzard on the way. Sixty miles away, in Thurso, a suspicious package smelling strongly of cannabis has been intercepted in the post, and it falls to Sgt Andy McKay and his team to investigate.
