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.
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.
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.
