Heaven alone knows we ve pressing anxieties enough to preoccupy us, but if you have the emotional bandwidth to accommodate more, the iPlayer can oblige. Available now on BBC Three is the latest in what now becomes a trilogy of heartrending dramas with Murdered in the title.
THERE were emotional scenes in Coronation Street tonight as character Seb Franklin died after a vicious attack. Viewers were left heartbroken as the tragedy unfolded, following the attack on Seb and girlfriend Nina Lucas, played by Mollie Gallagher. The ITV soap has been working with the foundation created after the murder of Sophie Lancaster for the hate crime storyline. Ms Lancaster, from Bacup, was a 20-year-old goth, murdered in 2007 because of the way she dressed. She died in hospital 13 days after the unprovoked attack. Her mother set up the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in her daughter’s memory to focus on creating respect for, and understanding of, subcultures.
