Flame Distribution and MAP TV (Michael Attwell Productions) are delighted to announce Moors Murders, a brand new True Crime documentary series ordered by UK broadcaster Channel 4 which is scheduled to TX on Monday 21st February.
Moors Murders (3 x 52’) is produced by award-winning Michael Attwell and Douglas Chirnside (MAP TV). The 1960’s Moors Murders are Britain’s most notorious crimes. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley murdered five children and buried the bodies on the local moors. The ‘trial of the century’, the mothers’ grief and the decades-long police searches for victim’s remains fuelled public anguish. This definitive series tells the full fifty years-long story of The Moors Murders.
With an extended interview of the only eye-witness to any of the murders and unprecedented access to Brady’s and Hindley’s never-before-seen prison correspondence, the series offers compelling and chilling viewing.
Michael Attwell, Founder and Managing Director, MAP TV said, “This stand-out series features exclusive elements: nearly 40 years of previously unseen Hindley and Brady letters, a major new revelation; alongside powerful eye-witness accounts of murder and the discovery of bodies on the moors. Employing the latest AI technology to bring a new dimension to the story, Moors Murders goes beyond a straightforward narrative account, offering viewers a deep and penetrating glimpse inside the minds of the notorious serial killer couple – in their own words.”
Flame Distribution’s Lynn Lugsden and Ros Ali brokered the deal with Channel 4. Flame will also be handling worldwide sales.
Lynn Lugsden, SVP Sales & Content Funding, Flame Distribution said, “The horrific Moors Murders story has been a subject of perennial interest, and Channel 4 is a superb platform for this gripping documentary series. With True Crime documentaries, just when you think you have seen everything regarding a case, new discoveries are made. We are delighted to be rolling-it out internationally as it is already generating substantial interest from our buyers.”
