True crime specialist Peninsula Television has delivered a gripping new 2 x 60’ boxset to Channel 4, which revisits the so-called Whitehouse Farm murders of August 1985, forty years after they occurred. Sphere Abacus is distributing the series globally.
Kratika Joshi, Producer of “White House Farm: Murder, Bloodline and Betrayal,” said: "We are delighted to be continuing our successful production partnership with Channel 4 on another compelling piece of true crime television. We focused on speaking with those who witnessed these crimes unfold first-hand, from investigators to journalists. This is a deep retrospective on a dark chapter in Essex history.”
“White House Farm: Murder, Bloodline and Betrayal” revolves around the massacre of the Bamber family in the early hours of 7th August 1985 at Tolleshunt D’Arcy, Essex. Police initially believed Sheila Caffell, a mother of twins with schizophrenia, killed her family in a murder-suicide. However, when Jeremy Bamber’s girlfriend changed her story and a silencer was found on the crime scene, suspicion turned to Jeremy, Sheila’s adoptive brother and the only survivor. Jeremy was jailed for life but insists he’s innocent.
Forty years on, questions still haunt one of the UK’s most controversial murder cases. Drawing on testimony from investigators, journalists, and an exclusive interview with Jeremy Bamber himself, the series provides a rare retrospective on a crime that continues to divide opinion.
The series will air over two consecutive nights, on August 26th and 27th, 2025, at 10 pm.
