BBC Scotland commissions new documentary series - The Hunt for Peter Tobin
BBC Scotland has commissioned Firecrest Films to produce a new two-part series examining the brutal crimes of Scottish serial killer Peter Tobin. The Hunt for Peter Tobin is the third in the series of the award-winning true crime strand 'The Hunt for…' and follows the success of The Hunt for Bible John and The Hunt for the World's End Killers. It follows the three separate investigations into young women who had seemingly vanished, and how they eventually revealed the existence of a serial killer targeting young women across the UK for more than three decades. Vicky Hamilton was waiting for a bus on a snowy winter night in 1991 when the 15-year-old teenager disappeared. Her case became one of Scotland's biggest missing persons investigations. That summer 18-year-old Dinah McNicol vanished after hitchhiking home from a music festival in Kent. Then, 15 years later, 23-year-old Angelika Kluk went missing in Glasgow in 2006. The series explores the ripple effects and the strain of their sudden disappearances on their families and friends of having a loved-one suddenly go missing. It includes interviews with family members, detectives, forensic scientists and journalists. Like the two previous Hunt For… series, The Hunt for Peter Tobin is produced and directed by the multi-award winning team of film-maker Matt Pinder, and editors Audrey McColligan and Dave Clark. The Hunt for Bible John was described by The Guardian as 'the best true-crime documentary of the year' and by The Times 'as a 'chillingly brilliant piece of film-making.' David Harron, Commissioning Executive, Factual at BBC Scotland says: 'This new series has the same distinguishing features to those that have gone before. It examines the Police investigations and the relentless pursuit of justice whilst at the same time telling the very real human stories which exist behind the headlines. It is this powerful combination, carefully crafted by the team, that makes for compelling viewing.' Mick McAvoy, Head of Documentaries at Firecrest Films said, 'Matt Pinder has once again produced a sensitively crafted series that reveals the brutal impact of a loved one suddenly going missing, while also paying tribute to the strength and compassion of those who devoted their lives to finding the truth about the disappearances. In the shadow of the brutal crimes of Peter Tobin, this series will inspire viewers as they see the tireless police work, the efforts of the Missing People charity and the strength of the families of the victims over three decades.' The Hunt for Peter Tobin will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC iPlayer in March 2025. JM2
