Filming has wrapped at the University of Wolverhampton for two upcoming episodes of the internationally acclaimed documentary series ‘Britain’s Most Evil Killers’, featuring one of the University’s own experts in forensic science.
Senior Lecturer Rebecca Flanagan, a former Crime Scene Investigator, Crime Scene Co-ordinator, and Forensic Manager with West Midlands Police, was interviewed as a forensic expert for two cases in the series’ tenth season. The episodes were filmed on campus in the MI Building, showcasing the University’s facilities as a backdrop for the production.
Produced by UK-based Woodcut Media, ‘Britain’s Most Evil Killers’ is a long-running true crime series broadcast on Sky Crime and international platforms. The series explores high-profile murder cases with a focus on justice, impact, and forensic truth - avoiding sensationalism in favour of thoughtful storytelling.
Each episode follows the timeline from crime to conviction, with expert commentary from detectives, criminologists, and forensic specialists. Rebecca, who spent 20 years with West Midlands Police, was involved in coordinating forensic responses to major crime scenes, working closely with homicide teams.
Her insight into the forensic breakthroughs that helped solve the cases will form a key part of the episodes. “It was a privilege to contribute to a series that takes such care in telling these stories with integrity,” she said.
“It’s also a great opportunity to highlight the role of forensic science in securing justice - and to do so from our own University campus.” Woodcut Media producer Imogen McKay said: “We’re committed to helping viewers understand the deeper context of each case, especially the forensic evidence that led to convictions.
“Rebecca’s expertise brought real depth to the episodes, and we’re grateful for the University’s support in hosting the filming.” The University plans to share further updates and behind-the-scenes content when the episodes air in the coming weeks.
