Murder Trial: The Killing of Dr. Brenda Page<\/em>, from Firecrest Films, is due to air on BBC iPlayer, BBC Scotland and BBC Two later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the episodes, which mark the return of the Murder Trial<\/em> series, Firecrest was permitted access to shoot from inside the Aberdeen High Court during the recent trial for the 1978 murder of Dr. Brenda Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Murder Trial: The Killing of Dr. Brenda Page<\/em> is produced and directed by Jack Warrender and executive produced by Iain Scollay and Vari Innes at Firecrest Films. The series was commissioned by BBC Scotland and BBC Factual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This installment follows the success of Murder Trial: The Disappearance of Renee and Andrew MacRae<\/em> and 2020’s BAFTA-winning Murder Trial: The Disappearance of Margaret Fleming<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Innes, executive producer at Firecrest Films, said, \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to have been granted access to film in the Aberdeen High Court for this high-profile trial. A huge thanks to Brenda\u2019s family and the legal teams for sharing their time around this challenging case, allowing us to highlight the importance of justice and conversations around domestic abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Harron, commissioner and executive producer for BBC Scotland, added, \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to be bringing viewers another two episodes of Murder Trial<\/em>. The access granted to the team at Firecrest is genuinely exceptional and, as well as being a compelling watch, the series also provides a valuable insight into the working of the judicial system in Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma Loach, commissioning editor for BBC Documentaries, commented, \u201cThe last two series of Murder Trial<\/em> have been utterly gripping, and I\u2019m delighted it is back with another case. This time, the team at Firecrest are bringing us remarkable access to a challenging and high-profile trial that takes us right to the heart of justice in action, as well as raising important issues around abusive relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Murder Trial: The Killing of Dr. Brenda Page, from Firecrest Films, is due to air on BBC iPlayer, BBC Scotland and BBC Two later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":20655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5739,714,1846,8877,8878],"class_list":["post-20654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-factual","tag-bbc-scotland","tag-firecrest-films","tag-murder-trial","tag-murder-trial-the-killing-of-dr-brenda-page","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
