Episode Britain's most wanted: hunting down fugitives
Nearly 60,000 suspects skipped court in England and Wales last year. Thousands still haven't been found.
Investigative journalist Matt Shea has spent months tracking down some of Britain's most wanted fugitives – from safehouses in North London to red light districts in Thailand – for his Channel 4 Dispatches film Hunting Britain's Fugitives. He joins Andy and Neil to reveal how he found people the system hasn't caught up with, and why so many suspects now feel emboldened to simply not show up.
Plus they discuss what exactly has gone so wrong with British justice that attending court feels optional, and what would it take to fix it.
