S12 Ep9: Britain’s Longest-Serving Lifer

Geoffrey and Molly Wansell turn their attention to the power of the parole board — and the shocking cases that test it to the limit. This week’s story is Roger Payne, a killer who has spent decades behind bars and may be Britain’s longest-serving lifer. Should he ever be released? Has justice already been served? Or is he exactly where he belongs? With trademark grit and fearless questioning, Geoffrey and Molly dig into Payne’s crime, his prison years, and the parole battles that continue to divide opinion.
