NEW true crime drama The Hack has started on ITV 1 (and is streaming on ITVX), providing a glimpse into the News of the World phone hacking scandal that rocked the country in the early 2000's.

The story intertwines with that of a notorious unsolved murder of a private investigator in Croydon back in 1987.

David Tennant takes on the role of investigative journalist Nick Davies, teaming up with Robert Carlyle as former Met Police Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Cook.

In the drama, DCS Cook is the central figure in the investigation of the real-life unsolved murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.

The series explores the intersection of both stories and the quest of both men to uncover the truth.

But who was Daniel Morgan, and why was his killer never caught?
