21:00-22:00 brand new one-off-documentary.The Murder of Becky Watts:Police Tapes with Rachel Davidson-Smith.“When we saw her in the morgue, that's when it really hit us. I mean, they did their best to cover up where he cut her up and things like that. But I could still see where he’d decapitated her. And no parent should have to see that.” - Becky Watts’s father Darren.
In this new documentary for TV3, Rachel Davidson-Smith gains unprecedented access to never seen before police tapes from the investigation into the murder of Becky Watts, revealing the inner workings of the case and the strategies detectives used to snare her killers.
When 16-year-old Becky went missing in 2016,it sparked the largest police investigation ever launched in Bristol and dominated headlines nationwide. Initially it was assumed that Becky had simply run away, but as detectives began to unearth clues surrounding her disappearance their attention turned to stepbrother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare.
This programme, which is part of TV3’s Crime & Punishment season, pieces together the methods the police used to build their case against Matthews and Hoare using previously unseen police footage from the heart of the investigation, including interview room tapes, forensic crime scene videos, and the moment the killers were arrested.
Several contributors, including Becky’s grandmother Pat Watts and officers involved in the case, speak for the first time since Matthews was sentenced for murder and Hoare for manslaughter.
Rachel speaks to Becky’s father Darren at the home where Becky died, along with her stepmother [and Nathan’s mother] Anjie, about their thoughts and emotions during the investigation, and the impact the crime has had on their family.
She also interviews senior investigating officer DCI Richard Ocone who gives her a vivid insight into the techniques and strategies officers used to elicit evidence in the interview room following forensic searches, which led to the grim discovery of Becky’s body and the dark motivation behind her murder being revealed.
Initially it seemed Becky had simply run away and would return. But DCI Ocone says he had an instinct because she had simply stopped using her phone, and not spoken to any friends, that something bad had happened. He says: “On day one you know I am fairly confident here, that something bad has happened to this young lady, I just don't know exactly what.“
Police then discovered Becky’s stepbrother and his girlfriend were the last people to see her, but they proved difficult to pin down. Once at the station, officers found Hoare ‘giggly’ and Matthews seemingly unconcerned. At Becky’s house, the forensic team found a key clue. Jon Draper from the team says: “That's when we came across what appeared to be blood or red staining on the architrave of the doorframe leading into Becky’s room.”
When a fingerprint in the blood turned out to belong to Matthews, the pair were arrested, initially on suspicion of kidnap. Becky’s grandmother Pat says: “If was going to be something bad, it didn’t surprise me. Nathan hated Becky and made it obvious.”
Detectives didn't tell Matthews they now knew it was his fingerprint in Becky’s blood, but hinted at what they’d found, to increase his unease. Det Con Marie Stephen explains: “Without giving that to them on a plate, if you like, it leaves them having to think about it, and puts them under more pressure.”
Police searched the pair's own house, finding that despite the fact it was filthy and crammed full of furniture, the bath was sparkling clean. The search also uncovered incriminating receipts which indicated a gruesome truth. DCI Ocone says: “Those receipts indicated that somebody on the Friday, when Becky was reported missing, had been to B&Q and had bought a circular saw, some gloves, goggles, and a face mask… Does it really mean he has tried to dismember a body?”
The investigation then turned into a murder inquiry, and dad Darren says: “Your whole world folds in on itself. They told me this [was] a murder inquiry and I know I started shouting at that point, ‘Oh, no, no, no, no you’re wrong, she’s got to be alive.’”
Detectives withheld the receipts find from Matthews, increasing the pressure by saying his home had been forensically searched. DCI Ocone says: “I think it probably felt like he was battling against a rising tide, and actually, you could feel the evidence starting to come on top, and actually it was starting to weigh quite heavily.”
Matthews then confessed in a prepared statement that he’d used the circular saw to dismember Becky’s body in the bath. He admitted wrapping up the body parts and hiding them in a shed a few hundred metres from his home. DCI Ocone admits nothing prepared him for what they found there: “The nature of the find is horrific and shocking, I have never dealt with anything like this. And it will stay with me throughout my service, it will stay with me probably throughout my life.”
With Matthews claiming sole culpability, detectives couldn’t yet link Hoare to the murder. She was initially charged with perverting the course of justice, before a series of deleted texts were recovered from one of her phones. They revealed a disturbing motivation behind the murder - text messages between the pair talking about abducting young girls, taking them home and putting them in their loft. DCI Ocone says: “I think they showed that Shauna’s involvement was far tighter, far closer to actually what had happened... It suggested that she had been involved in the dismemberment and the packaging of Becky, after she’d been killed.”
Darren takes Rachel into Becky’s locked bedroom, which is filled with posters and soft toys one might expect a teenage girl’s room to contain. There, he explains the impact the case has had on him. He says: “I believe they came both up here, they burst in on her, with masks on, and attacked her. She must have been absolutely bloody terrified.
“The image I have, in my nightmares, is him holding her down on the floor, and [Hoare’s placing her hand] over her mouth... They did it together, they planned it together, I don't know what they expected to gain from it. ‘Cause there was nothing in it for them. So, it was all pointless.”.Featuring incredible video footage revealing for the first time how detectives used strategy and skill to catch the killers of Becky Watts.*brand new one-off-documentary Serial Killer with John Carter airs on next Thursday (15th,November,2018) at 9:00pm-10:00pm.

00:20-01:20 (Repeat) brand new one-off-documentary.The 18-30 Stone Holiday.For the estimated 12 million obese people living in the UK, just leaving the house can be terrifying, and some avoid being seen for fear of fat shaming. For most people, wearing a swimming costume on the beach can be nerve-wracking, but when you’re obese, it can be traumatising.
With one fifth of the world’s population expected to be obese in the next decade, there’s now a market for plus-size friendly holidays. Hidden away on an island in the heart of the Caribbean is the world’s only hotel that’s been exclusively built for plus-sized people: on the island of Eleuthera lies The Resort.
It may look like any normal hotel, but this is the only resort in the world that is custom built for people over 30 stone. All the rooms have been altered to suit the fuller figure: each chair is almost a metre wide and can withstand more than 40 stone of sunbather, doorways have been widened, and all the bed frames have been reinforced with two-inch steel bars. Here guests can eat what they like from a buffet open three times a day serving Caribbean or comfort food.
There is also a specially designed programme of activities that will force the guests to re-evaluate their bodies, and group therapy is encouraged.
Resort owner, James, says: “It’s a sanctuary. It’s a place where you can come and have a good holiday without any judgement whatsoever.”
Now a group of Brits who hate their bodies are heading to this plus-sized paradise to experience a radical new approach to confronting the prejudice they often encounter because of their size. They’ll be challenged to face their innermost fears, and inspired to find a new confidence to overcome their inhibitions, in a week that could transform their lives.
The eight people are:
Adam, 32, and his wife Ami, 28, from Stoke-on-Trent, weigh 22-stone and 24-stone respectively. Going to The Resort is their chance for a second honeymoon.
Ami says: “Our honeymoon was spent rowing. We rowed a lot over me not wanting to go to the pool because I could see that there were people there who looked immaculate.”
Ami was so mortified by how she looked that she deleted almost every photo of their honeymoon.
Adam says: “We’re a pair, and if she’s hurting, I’m hurting. If she can’t enjoy herself, I can’t.”
Adam is hoping that during the week at The Resort, Ami will finally pluck up the courage to reveal her body in public for the first time.
Steven, 23, from Fife, weighs 37-stone, and he says: “You are constantly ridiculed, you are constantly abused, you are constantly judged because you are not the normal size…Being big you automatically try harder to be funnier. If I was skinnier or smaller I don’t think I could be as vibrant. I don’t think I would as a ‘in your face.’”
Despite his larger than life personality, call centre worker Steven rarely leaves his hometown and this is the first ever time he has set foot a plane.
At 6’2” and weighing 36-stone, 31-year-old Alice’s chronic anxiety about her size often means she’s a prisoner in her own home.
Severely overweight her entire life, and now a mum of two young children, Alice says: “Since a very young age people have been telling me that I am going to die young because of my weight. You start to believe it. You know, I probably won’t see my kids grow up. So I have actually planned my own funeral.”
Dane, 27, weighs 31-stone, and after his parents divorced when he was 10-years-old he has turned to food as an emotional crutch. He says: “There’s definitely a cycle of eating comfort food. Hating myself, and eating some comfort food, then hating myself again for eating that comfort food.”
Despite being engaged to childhood sweetheart Helen, Dane’s confidence is so low that he has cancelled his wedding day twice. He says: “I want to have the chance to do the things I want to do, like be able to get married to the love of my life Helen. We have planned for a couple of weddings before but I guess my insecurities have stopped that from going on."
David, 28, weighs 18-stone, and is only just finding his feet in the plus sized world. He says: “I was living in Brighton, and I met my first love, and I was with him for quite a number of years. That relationship broke down and I started to eat, I lost my home and I lost my friends.”
He continues: “From a size where I was underweight, I would say probably about 10-stone, I have put on probably about eight or nine stone in the stage of three or four years. In my head I’m still that person, nothing’ s changed, until people make comments about you, and you realise that you are a different size."
David adds: “I am also a gay guy, and in that scene, the judgement is escalated and magnified."
Sandra, weighs 22½-stone, and says: “This is the biggest I’ve been in my life."
She adds: “I’m looking for a husband.”
Holly, 27, 20½-stone, is a plus-size model, and says: “My size has got me down and it still does sometimes. Obviously, I portray and come across as a really confidence lady, and I am 90% of the time, but just like anyone you always have your days when you feel down or you don’t like what clothes you are wearing and you just can’t leave the house.”.Documentary following eight plus-size Brits, some well over 30 stone, as they travel to the world's only plus-size friendly hotel, the Resort in the Bahamas.

Adam says: “We’re a pair, and if she’s hurting, I’m hurting. If she can’t enjoy herself, I can’t.”
Adam is hoping that during the week at The Resort, Ami will finally pluck up the courage to reveal her body in public for the first time.
Steven, 23, from Fife, weighs 37-stone, and he says: “You are constantly ridiculed, you are constantly abused, you are constantly judged because you are not the normal size…Being big you automatically try harder to be funnier. If I was skinnier or smaller I don’t think I could be as vibrant. I don’t think I would as a ‘in your face.’”
Despite his larger than life personality, call centre worker Steven rarely leaves his hometown and this is the first ever time he has set foot a plane.
At 6’2” and weighing 36-stone, 31-year-old Alice’s chronic anxiety about her size often means she’s a prisoner in her own home.
Severely overweight her entire life, and now a mum of two young children, Alice says: “Since a very young age people have been telling me that I am going to die young because of my weight. You start to believe it. You know, I probably won’t see my kids grow up. So I have actually planned my own funeral.”
Dane, 27, weighs 31-stone, and after his parents divorced when he was 10-years-old he has turned to food as an emotional crutch. He says: “There’s definitely a cycle of eating comfort food. Hating myself, and eating some comfort food, then hating myself again for eating that comfort food.”
Despite being engaged to childhood sweetheart Helen, Dane’s confidence is so low that he has cancelled his wedding day twice. He says: “I want to have the chance to do the things I want to do, like be able to get married to the love of my life Helen. We have planned for a couple of weddings before but I guess my insecurities have stopped that from going on."
David, 28, weighs 18-stone, and is only just finding his feet in the plus sized world. He says: “I was living in Brighton, and I met my first love, and I was with him for quite a number of years. That relationship broke down and I started to eat, I lost my home and I lost my friends.”
He continues: “From a size where I was underweight, I would say probably about 10-stone, I have put on probably about eight or nine stone in the stage of three or four years. In my head I’m still that person, nothing’ s changed, until people make comments about you, and you realise that you are a different size."
David adds: “I am also a gay guy, and in that scene, the judgement is escalated and magnified."
Sandra, weighs 22½-stone, and says: “This is the biggest I’ve been in my life."
She adds: “I’m looking for a husband.”
Holly, 27, 20½-stone, is a plus-size model, and says: “My size has got me down and it still does sometimes. Obviously, I portray and come across as a really confidence lady, and I am 90% of the time, but just like anyone you always have your days when you feel down or you don’t like what clothes you are wearing and you just can’t leave the house.”.Documentary following eight plus-size Brits, some well over 30 stone, as they travel to the world's only plus-size friendly hotel, the Resort in the Bahamas.

00:45-01:45 (Repeat) brand new one-off-documentary.The 18-30 Stone Holiday.For the estimated 12 million obese people living in the UK, just leaving the house can be terrifying, and some avoid being seen for fear of fat shaming. For most people, wearing a swimming costume on the beach can be nerve-wracking, but when you’re obese, it can be traumatising.
With one fifth of the world’s population expected to be obese in the next decade, there’s now a market for plus-size friendly holidays. Hidden away on an island in the heart of the Caribbean is the world’s only hotel that’s been exclusively built for plus-sized people: on the island of Eleuthera lies The Resort.
It may look like any normal hotel, but this is the only resort in the world that is custom built for people over 30 stone. All the rooms have been altered to suit the fuller figure: each chair is almost a metre wide and can withstand more than 40 stone of sunbather, doorways have been widened, and all the bed frames have been reinforced with two-inch steel bars. Here guests can eat what they like from a buffet open three times a day serving Caribbean or comfort food.
There is also a specially designed programme of activities that will force the guests to re-evaluate their bodies, and group therapy is encouraged.
Resort owner, James, says: “It’s a sanctuary. It’s a place where you can come and have a good holiday without any judgement whatsoever.”
Now a group of Brits who hate their bodies are heading to this plus-sized paradise to experience a radical new approach to confronting the prejudice they often encounter because of their size. They’ll be challenged to face their innermost fears, and inspired to find a new confidence to overcome their inhibitions, in a week that could transform their lives.
The eight people are:
Adam, 32, and his wife Ami, 28, from Stoke-on-Trent, weigh 22-stone and 24-stone respectively. Going to The Resort is their chance for a second honeymoon.
Ami says: “Our honeymoon was spent rowing. We rowed a lot over me not wanting to go to the pool because I could see that there were people there who looked immaculate.”
Ami was so mortified by how she looked that she deleted almost every photo of their honeymoon.
Adam says: “We’re a pair, and if she’s hurting, I’m hurting. If she can’t enjoy herself, I can’t.”
