Sunday on TRUE CRIME: From Judge Judy to the Longest Murder Trial – A Killer Lineup

Sunday night on TRUE CRIME promises a binge‑worthy mix of courtroom drama, deep‑cut investigations and chilling con‑cases. Whether you’re a fan of legal theatre or a lover of gritty truth‑stories, the line‑up delivers on both fronts.

1. UK Crime Files: The Longest Murder Trial

Start: 20:00 – 21:00 BST
Synopsis: The murder of Lynette White and the record‑setting trial that followed. DNA and police work unravel a story that kept the public on edge for years.

Opinion: The episode’s painstaking detail turns a simple murder into a masterclass on forensic resilience. It’s still entertaining and holds up well even for seasoned true‑crime enthusiasts.

2. UK Crime Files: Eastbourne’s Dr Death

Start: 19:00 – 20:00 BST
Synopsis: Geoffrey Wansell revisits Eastbourne GP Bodkin Adams’s uncanny pattern of naming patients in wills and their untimely deaths.

Opinion: Wansell’s narrative is compelling but once you see the pattern, the suspense feels a bit predictable. Still, it gives a reliable glimpse into a suspicious practice.

3. Fatal Fraud – Episode 1

Start: 01:00 – 02:00 BST

Synopsis: Retired teacher Dr Peter Coshan vanishes after falling victim to a charming conman.

Opinion: The first episode sets a chilling tone; however, the pacing dips a bit in the middle. It remains a reliable addition to the lineup.

4. Judge Judy – Monday‑to‑Friday Marathon

Start: 09:00 – 15:30 BST

Synopsis: A series of bite‑size courtroom cases that bring everyday disputes to the spotlight.

Opinion: While not a true‑crime documentary, the legal drama offers a fringe of human drama that can be surprisingly engaging for those who enjoy the theatrics of justice.

Bottom line: For a Sunday night that keeps you glued, the combination of deep‑cut crime stories and courtroom drama offers a balanced dose of tension and resolution. Pick the Longest Murder Trial for the high‑stakes drama, and let the other shows fill in the rest of the night.
