HARDtalk
with Sir Ludovic Kennedy, writer and broadcaster
On
BBC News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Tuesday 2 September) David Jessel
talks to Sir Ludovic Kennedy.
Thirty
four years after two men were wrongly imprisoned for the Luton Post
Office murder, their convictions have finally been quashed by the
Court of Appeal.
Sir
Ludovic Kennedy started the campaign to free the men (now both dead)
with a book proclaiming their innocence.
He
has gone on to occupy a particular niche in British broadcasting
- he is the father of that brand of journalism which pursues investigations
into miscarriages of justice until someone takes notice.
The
author of six books on the subject, he has come to the opinion that
British justice is itself at fault.
Sir
Ludovic Kennedy explains to David Jessel why British courts ought
to abandon the adversarial system and should introduce a system
closer to the French inquisitorial system instead.
HARDtalk
is on BBC News 24 at 11.30pm.
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.

from BBCi, as well as 11 national BBC radio networks.
