Re-Trial by TV: The Rise and Fall of Rough Justice 9:00pm - 10:00pm BBC4
How do people feel about our justice system? If you think it's soft on criminals, it wasn't always so, as this excellent Time Shift on the BBC series Rough Justice reminds us. For 27 years, from 1980 onwards, its investigations into miscarriages of justice led to the freeing of 18 people wrongfully convicted of serious crimes - we're told the series paved the way for the public to accept that the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six were innocent. It's an interesting story told with contributions from ex-policeman Brian Paddick, journalist Simon Heffer and presenter David Jessel, among others.Radio Times reviewer - Geoff Ellis

In its first 14 months, cases included MPs' expenses, which resulted in the prosecution of David Chaytor, and amendments to the status of pre-nuptial agreements. Narrated by Aidan Gillett. Part of the Justice season.
Documentary
Eyewitness 11:00pm - 12:00am BBC4 1/3, series 1
How reliable are eyewitness accounts of violent crimes? Through a combination of drama, observational documentary, secret filming and interviews, the difference between what witnesses say they saw and what actually happened is revealed. On a break from taking part in tests and experiments, a group of volunteers go to a local pub for lunch, where some of them notice a "domestic" going on at one of the tables. What follows is an argument between three men, which escalates into a fight and ends in a fatal stabbing. The volunteers are now what the police call key and significant eyewitnesses, but how accurately can they recall the details of the crime, and how do their accounts differ? Narrated by Philip Glenister. ______________________________________________
