Murder, Mystery and My Family is a BBC One series featuring Sasha Wass KC and Jeremy Dein KC.,[1][2] which examines historic criminal convictions resulting in the death penalty in order to determine if any of them resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
Their submissions – Dein for the "defence" and Wass for the "prosecution" – are then presented to Judge David Radford, who considers whether there are grounds to consider the convictions as being unsafe.
Cases featured include those of Edward Devlin and Alfred Burns, John Dickman, Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters, and Herbert John Bennett.
In April 2019, five 45-minute episodes of the follow-up series Murder, Mystery and My Family: Case Closed?
were broadcast on BBC One,[21] revisiting cases previously covered in series 1 of the main programme.
