PRIME CRIME TV

REAL-LIFE crime documentaries which allow cameras into Scots courts have been among the BBC's biggest hits despite fears they could disrupt criminal trials.

The Murder Trial and Murder Case series feature in the Top 10 most requested titles of 2025 on the broadcaster's iPlayer with over three million views.

The latest viewing figures come after the broadcaster last week announced Murder Case is set to return later this year with a new three-part series focussing on two cases.

Two 60-minute episodes will concentrate on the murder of Tony Parsons The Vanishing Cyclist who was killed by a drunk driver on the A82 near Bridge of Orchy and secretly buried in a shallow grave.
