The Trial of Lord Lucan
![The Trial of Lord Lucan](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
In November 1974, British aristocrat Richard John Bingham, otherwise known as Lord Lucan, became the prime suspect in the murder of his children's nanny, Sandra Rivett. He vanished soon after the incident, sparking one of the most sensational manhunts in British history and as a result, has never faced judge and jury. It's the Trial that never happened... …until now. Using exclusive, never before seen documents and mesmerising testimony, Caroline Cheetham, Stephen Wright and some of the world's most revered legal minds take part in a week long audio event to determine Lucan's fate... and YOU are the jury.

Fascinating and enjoyable except for wokeism

Enjoyed the revisiting of the evidence and the use of practicing barristers to lay out the case as they would today. As ever, the appeasement of the ‘woke’ who don’t appreciate reality means that rather than simply employing an actor with elocution similar to an upper middle class educated child (i.e., historical accuracy), they’ve used South East Londoner with a strong accent to play the child of aristocrats - distracting from the content.
Absolutely fantastic

Wow…….what an unusual podcast, instead of trying to determine the culprit on a cold case, this one puts the key suspect on trial………unreleased evidence really highlights this as a classic crime…….
The best one yet

Absolutely loved this. So indepth and layered and a good insight to the legal system both past and contemporary. Listened to it all in one morning when on holiday and my kids slept in. I ate a long lazy breakfast with fizz and truly immersed. What a fabulous way to end a break. Thank you all. If you need a voluntary researcher I can send you my cv. X
Another theory perhaps???

Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, but I’m almost shouting out in despair! Why have you not put forward a theory that Lady Lucan aided and assisted her husband? There is absolutely no doubt the attack was meant for Lady Lucan. Her husband had mistakenly taken the life of Sandra Rivett and out of sheer desperation to survive she managed to convince her husband that she would help him cover his tracks. She most certainly would have put to him that this would be the only way to protect the children and him from prosecution. So he then proceeded to help her clean herself up, they both put the body in the bag (as Lady Lucan’s blood was found on the bag alongside Sandra’s) with a view to disposing of it later. However, once they had moved upstairs to clean up, Lady Lucan took her opportunity and fled. Only then, after realising she had gone he knew he’d been duped!
