On 1st April 1998 Christopher Alder, an ex-paratrooper,
was dragged unconscious into a Hull police station.
Minutes later he died on the custody suite floor. This
investigation examines Christopher's death and whether
the case will continue to taint relations between the police
and the black community.

One to record if you don't catch it...

Here’s a report on the visit we made to Burnley to meet
Janet Alder, which in itself adds background to riots in
the Northern town of Burnley in 2001.
