Stephen Merchant and Sheridan Smith head up the BBC One drama Four Lives which will air across three nights on the channel.

Jeff Pope and Neil McKay, who were also behind The Moorside and Appropriate Adult, created the series.

"This is a story not only of the consequences of that loss but also of the extraordinary courage and resilience shown by those who loved them as they sought truth and justice. It is a privilege to be able to tell it.”
