Review

Jack Seale

The disappearance of charity cyclist Tony Parsons was national news in 2017 and was the subject of a BBC Murder Case documentary last year – that’s still on iPlayer, but this three-parter has a new spin on the case. Having enjoyed a whirlwind romance with farmer Sandy McKellar, pathologist Dr Caroline Muirhead is told by him, years after the event, that he is responsible for Parsons’s death.

Caroline, who is an endlessly forthcoming interviewee, recalls the moment she faced a dilemma over whether to stay with Sandy or report him to the police. She chose to…do both.
