When is accused on bbc 2017

It was initially thought that Ms Tiffney may have fled her home under the pressure of Flynn facing imprisonment and her sister Lulu grieving for her son. But in the investigation that followed, it emerged that Flynn and his mother argued frequently - and had done so on the night that Ms Tiffney was last seen. Flynn claimed she had "stormed out" of their home, but she had not taken her keys, bank cards or cash, or made childcare arrangements for her six-year-old daughter.

During their investigation, officers found blood matching Ms Tiffney's DNA in the boot of a car that Flynn drove, along with mud and vegetation. Mobile phone records also showed he was in East Lothian when he claimed to be in Edinburgh. Flynn was still in Polmont Young Offenders' Institution in February , serving his sentence for the fatal car crash, when he was charged with his mother's murder.

During a day trial at the High Court in Perth the following year, prosecutors alleged that Flynn snapped and killed Ms Tiffney after arguing with her over the driving case and over his relationship with an older woman.

Neighbours told how they had heard noises on the night Ms Tiffney went missing. Professional gambler Brian Rockall, 39, said he heard the sound of someone running across the floor of the flat above him. He said: "It seemed fairly loud, startling. It seemed like someone finally losing it at the end of an argument. It didn't sound like someone was being hurt. Flynn's defence team argued that Ms Tiffney could have taken her own life, and the jury found the charges against him not proven. After Ms Tiffney's body was found in April , prosecutors sought permission to set aside the acquittal and prosecute Flynn again for her murder.

The discovery was made by a cyclist near Gosford House in East Lothian. Police confirmed that the area around the stately home had been searched by officers during the original inquiry, but the specific area where the body was found had never previously been searched. Officers had a theory that the killer had driven to Gosford House to bury Ms Tiffney's body in a shallow grave.

Something that's saying something socially. I want everything I do to be difficult to watch. Like much of McGovern's work, Time is set in the north of England. The writer clearly enjoys telling stories from less well-represented parts of the country, but doing so throws up some unexpected challenges.

The crime and violence that runs through much of McGovern's work presents something of a Catch 22 - in so far as he wants to bring attention and work to northern cities, but without always depicting them negatively. Interestingly, Graham actually lost out on a role in the second series of Accused for this reason. We cannot have a Scouser playing the burglar, because of the negative stereotype attached to the city.

The taxi driver role eventually went to Andy Serkis, and Graham was instead cast as a different character in a different episode of the anthology series. So the only way around that, I think, is to shoot in the city but not necessarily set it in the city. But that leaves you wide open to charges of not giving Scouse actors jobs in Scouse dramas. Time: Stephen Graham on his new prison role. Jimmy McGovern: 'I cry when I write my scripts'. The 'brutally violent' film being hailed as a masterpiece.
