When 15-yer-old Carol met 29-year-old Harry Jarvis, she had no idea how depraved her future husband would be. Though she was just a child when they met and within a few years, they'd be married with a growing family.
But when Harry met a woman called Rita, he decided that Carol was in the way. He moved his mistress into their garden shed and plotted to get rid of his wife, once and for all.

The Most Exploitative Show on Earth?
At the start of the millennium, four young American men in America
came up with an idea for a new tv show. Following in the footsteps of Jack Ass and Dirty Sanchez, shows that featured groups of men doing crazy and controversial stunts, they wanted to take this type of programming to the next level.
Their show made millions of dollars in revenue and their DVD’s sold in the
hundreds of thousands. But the physical and emotional damage this show
inflicted on some of the most vulnerable members of society, was the real cost of this production.
This is REAL.

Brian Whitelock: Once, Twice, Three Times a Killer
(Please note in the first upload some listeners couldn't hear the 999 call - it's been re-uploaded so if you can't hear it, please remove the download and download again. Thank you so much)
In the year 2000, the average minimum term prison sentence for murder in the UK was 13 years. Today it’s 21 years. But if someone hasn’t been rehabilitated, and they pose a risk to the public or themselves, guidelines say that they should remain in prison.
In this episode, you'll hear about a man called Brian Whitelock, who killed not one, but two people…. And was then released, to kill a third.
This is REAL.
