A gripping new documentary series, The Undercover Police Scandal, pulls back the curtain on one of the most disturbing betrayals of trust in modern policing. This powerful series sheds light on the harrowing experiences of five women who were deceived into intimate relationships with undercover officers.

Charlie Webb was the main editor across this 3-part series and was tasked to help set the style.  We spoke to him about working on it; “I really enjoyed the edit and working with a great team. It was a great challenge to structure and interweave this huge story in a way which would be easy to follow and constantly exciting.  I think it’s a great series which only gets bigger as it goes on and I hope one which will help draw attention to a very important issue”.

At the heart of the series are Alison, Lisa, and Helen, three campaigners who, in their twenties, thought they had found love with like-minded activists. Their interviews make up the heart of the series which is interweaved with drama recon, with compelling storytelling and powerful firsthand accounts, this documentary is not just a story of personal betrayal, it’s a call for accountability.

The Undercover Police Scandal airs 6^th March 9pm on ITV and is The Times’ Pick of the day . It will also be available on ITVX.
