Channel 4 looks at work of coroners
Article Abstract:
Channel 4 is geared to broadcast The Coroners, a new 5 x 50-minute documentary series in 1999. The series, created by Twenty Twenty Television, looks into the work of a group of Birmingham coroners' officers investigating unexplained deaths. The Coroners partly delves into the judicial system, a topic not always probed by filmmakers, and includes details such as visiting scenes of death and interviewing witnesses. C4 stressed that the documentary was created sensitively and was only made with the consent of the next of kin.
