The Ice Cream Wars
Season 1 Episode 2 of 2
The conclusion of the documentary picks up in the summer of 1984, with the criminal investigation into the fire that killed six members of the Doyle family. The police's efforts to find those responsible would lead to one of the biggest trials in Scottish history, with seven men in the dock. In the end, just two, Thomas Campbell and Joe Steele, would be convicted of murder, despite doubts over the strength of the evidence against them. There followed one of the most dramatic campaigns for justice as both men fought to keep their case in the public eye
The Ice Cream Wars airs on BBC Scotland HD at 10:00 PM, Wednesday 5 February. (Subtitles, repeat.)
