The story of the individuals who brought Bishop Peter Ball to justice and the cover-up that went to the highest levels of the Church of England.
Episode 1
Using powerful testimony from victims, police and church officials, and dramatic reconstruction, this programme charts the story of those who fought for many years to bring a prosecution against Ball.
Episode 2
By the mid-1990s Bishop Peter was back officiating in church services. George Carey, then the Archbishop of Canterbury, had paid towards Ball’s legal costs and a personal holiday with money from the Church, while the victim who alerted the police, Neil Todd, felt shunned by the religious establishment left with no support from the Church.
