2. A Confession
Monday 30th September at 9pm on ITV
In this week's penultimate episode of A Confession, Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher is lionized in the media for leading an investigation that recovered not one, but two bodies murdered by serial killer Christopher Halliwell.

Now facing two counts of gross-misconduct in a Public Office, Steve is left staring down the barrel knowing that one count alone would be enough for him to lose the job that he loves.
Elsewhere, Karen Edwards is outraged at the fact that Halliwell will not face charges for the murder of her daughter Becky Godden-Edwards and goes to meet with her local MP Robert Buckland, to discuss a change that she thinks needs to made to PACE laws, to prevent a mess like this from ever happening again.
