Behind the scenes of Forensics: Catching the Killer we’ve been working hard to make series five as sustainable as we can
🌍💚
It’s not always easy with crime documentaries, but this year we’ve:
🌳 Filmed more interviews in natural light
🚶‍♀️ Asked directors to capture greener shots — more trees, walking & cycling, fewer cars
🚗💨 Switched to hybrid cars (and aiming for electric next year ⚡)
🤝 Car-shared between production crew, especially on trips between Manchester & our HQ in Leeds
🚆 Chose the train over flying — even bringing a contributor from Europe on the Eurostar!
🏨 Booked hotels powered by 100% renewable energy

They might sound like small steps, but together they make a big difference 💪

And the best part? The programmes look better for it too 🎬🌿

Thanks for watching and supporting us — it means a lot to tell these important stories while looking after the planet 🌎💚

We hope tonight’s episode of reflected Sqn Ldr Mark Long accurately and paid tribute to the genuinely lovely guy he was.

Although the team only filmed with him for a short while, he left such a huge impression on all who met him.

Our thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends.

Blue skies Schlongy. 🫡
