British Serial: Untold

John Mason

Anyone listening to this?

This is not a whodunnit,” says Peter Jukes. “It’s a story about the biggest cover-up in the history of British police, and how they got away with it.”

"Jukes is talking about his new podcast Untold, which probes the brutal murder of private eye Daniel Morgan in the car park of a south London pub in 1987 – and the three decades of intrigue that followed it. The serial is on its third episode, and is topping the iTunes charts. Morgan’s is the most investigated murder in British history, and yet you probably haven’t heard of it. This is believed to be because the case involves not only the Metropolitan police and private detectives, but also – crucially – the News of the World newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch that would later be at the centre of the phone hacking scandal. It has been described by an assistant commissioner of the Met as “one of the most disgraceful episodes in the entire history of the Metropolitan police service.” The media hasn’t touched it – but now, this crowdfunded podcast is tackling the murky, complex truth over 10 episodes".

I found this podcast yesterday and have listened to the first two episodes; very intriguing so far. It's great that Daniel's brother, Alastair, is involved as it draws the listener deeper into the story.
