The moment an undercover detective broke down under the weight of her role in the investigation into Rachel Nickell's murder has been recreated for an upcoming Channel 4 drama.

A detective, only known by her codename Lizzie James, was used to befriend suspect Colin Stagg and lure him into making a confession.

Police had been investigating the murder of 23-year-old Rachel Nickell, who was stabbed 49 times in front of her young son on Wimbledon Common, when they pounced upon Stagg as their main suspect in the case.

Innocent loner Stagg was then contacted by Lizzie, played by 28-year-old Irish actress Niamh Algar, who called and wrote to him for five months - despite there being no evidence to link him to the 1992 murder.

As TV’s Upfront Draws Near, More Addressable TV Commercials Will Be for Sale

Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorMadison Avenue is getting closer to realizing its dream of using TV advertising to talk to viewers in a style more akin to a one-to-one conversationThe future of the humble TV ad has long been described as the following: New data and interactive technology will trim the practice of throwing a diaper ad or a car spot at every single member of the audience. Instead, more marketers will use addressable technology that allows them to beam different ads to different household, all in the same “slot” in a commercial break.Horizon, the independent media-investment company, will help deploy addressable ads in national linear inventory on networks owned by A+E Networks and Fox Corp.
