The Killing of PC Harper: A Widow’s Fight for Justice
9pm, ITV

A difficult story to recount and one that is an unending nightmare for his family, this documentary explores the 2019 case of PC Andrew Harper – who, after getting his foot caught in a rope attached to a stolen car while investigating a robbery, was dragged along the road for more than a mile and died at the scene. His widow, Lissie, talks to Trevor McDonald about dealing with the fact that the drivers were convicted of manslaughter not murder, and her fight to get the law changed around similar cases in the name of her husband’s legacy.
