Episode The mistake that left ‘Slab' Murphy with a big bill and a massive problem
In 1990, Thomas ‘Slab’ Murphy lost his seminal libel case against the Sunday Times.

But a tactical error by Murphy led to the paper deciding to fight – and not settle, costing him a fortune.
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Sam McBride.
