There was nothing voyeuristic or thrilling about The Murder Workers (Channel 4); instead we were presented with a horror that was relentless and mundane as those prematurely bereaved by the violence of another person struggled to come to terms with the death. This Cutting Edge documentary followed members of the Victim Support’s National Homicide team - assigned to families when a relative has been killed. There are around 700 murder or manslaughter cases annually in the UK, 25 per cent of which leave children behind. So this film was about watching an endless, terrible procession of ordinary mothers, fathers, kids and grandparents, weeping in brightly lit living rooms and kitchens, which looked nearly as tenderly cared for as their loved ones had obviously been.
