UK FORENSIC BREAKTHROUGHS

40 years ago, Jo sat down in front of the TV with her mum and dad to watch Indelible Evidence. It was a groundbreaking true crime show that revealed how forensic science unravelled some of the most challenging investigations of the day.

Ten years later, she walked into a laboratory to begin her own journey as a forensic scientist ... and that was 30 years ago! Fast forward to 2026 and Jo is the host of her very own documentary!

Over the next ten weeks UK Forensic Breakthroughs will premiere on the True Crime Channel. Like Indelible Evidence, this series will explore some of the UK's most challenging murder investigations, shine a spotlight on forensic science and the brilliant scientists who quietly use their expertise to help uncover the truth.

The ten episodes will demonstrate that forensic science is about much more than DNA and fingerprints as it highlights the incredible breadth of specialist expertise involved in criminal investigations.

Here's a summary of the fascinating forensic disciplines that will be showcased throughout the series:

• Forensic fibre analysis
