Yes.

So John Warboys was nicknamed the black cab rapist.

He was a black cab driver who in the sort of early noughties is effectively one of Britain's worst ever sexual predators.

And so he was a licensed cab driver and his modus operandi was he'd go out in his cab and

and he'd sort of pick up you know drunk women young girls from nightclubs and things like that and he'd be taking them home and he'd come up with this concocted story that he'd won at the casino that night or won the lottery I've won 30 grand tonight and then he'd bend down and pick up a bag and hold up the bag of cash which was the visual clue and he'd also say oh look I've got a bottle of champagne as well with my winnings but

obviously I can't have a drink tonight because I'm driving.

I don't want to lose my license.

You'll have a glass of me, won't you?

And they'd talk them around that he would sort of be insistent and wouldn't take no for an answer.

And then he'd lace the champagne with a concoction of drugs, which would render them unconscious.

He sort of offended up to 105 women.

So, I mean, it's written by Jeff Pope.

So the drama explores those incidences and,

his arrest, the trial, and how basically he got eight years, but then after that, they gave him parole.

They granted him parole, and it was about these two extraordinary women, Layla and Sarah, as they're named in our story, that effectively under the Human Rights Act sued the Metropolitan Police because the whole case, everything with these women, it was littered with police failings from the Met.

Um, so they held them to account.

They sued, you know, the judicial system and everything.

And it was like an extraordinary act of courage and bravery and dignity from the victims to do that.

But it's a harrowing story.

It's a heavy role.
