There's no doubt that true crime dramas are popular on TV right now. But Steeltown Murders on BBC One is a little bit different, as it focuses on the cops at the centre of the remarkable 30-year hunt to catch Wales’s first serial killer, known as the Saturday Night Strangler.
Starring Philip Glenister from Life on Mars fame as DCI Paul Bethell, and Gavin & Stacey's Steffan Rhodri as Phil ‘Bach’ Rees, the story follows two timelines, the early 1970s and early 2000s, as the detectives hunt the murderer of three teenage girls before finally solving the mystery after three decades using pioneering DNA evidence.
