Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Steve Fulcher wrote 'Caught' about the case; he consulted on the series but refused to be on set, calling it 'too painful'.
The case directly changed UK law on police interviews — Fulcher's 'failure' became the reason suspects now have tighter protections than ever, a cruel irony the show lingers on.
