THE HUNT FOR
THE WORLD'S END KILLERS

BAFTA & RTS NOMINATED

2 PART DOCUMENTARY SERIES

FIRECREST FILMS FOR BBC

The Hunt for the World’s End Killers examines the 1977 murders of two young women who disappeared from the World’s End pub in Edinburgh. The discovery of their bodies sparked one of the longest manhunts in British criminal history and an investigation that would reveal the existence of a serial killer described as “the single most dangerous man who walked the streets of Scotland in the 20th Century”.

PRESS

"Sensitively handled and impressively researched, this absorbing two-part documentary recounts an utterly tragic saga with far more depth and context than one usually finds in programmes of this nature. Bolstered by insightful contributions from various journalists, authors and retired police officers, it’s a rigorous piece of social history which, among many other things, covers some landmark developments in the support for female victims of sexual violence. An exemplary essay."
