'Right, Des, it's John Motson here.'
'Yes, John.'

'We have a lot of people hurt
here today.

'I have to say,
from my position up here,

'it would appear serious injuries.'

'In my view, the culprits
of Hillsborough

'were those yobs who turned up
just before the match

'and tried to force their way in
and did force their way in.

'They are responsible for the deaths
of innocent people.'

'The charge has been made

'that there has been a cover-up -

'an attempt to pervert
the course of justice.'

# Things

# Can only get better

# Can only get better... #

Hey, there's a few going in.

I know, it looks quite busy.

Up the Labour!

'We have been elected

'as New Labour
and we will govern as New Labour.'

There you go.

New Labour, new inquests.

Hey-hey! New Labour!

'Because, as a party today,

'we represent the whole
of this nation.'

So the first thing to say is

this is a judicial scrutiny.

The New Labour government has
appointed a senior judge

to look over all the evidence again

and assess whether there are grounds
for new inquests.

Well, we know there's grounds
for new inquests. Hang on, hang on!

This is Labour we're talking about.

Different mindset, don't you think?

But we'll take nothing for granted,
OK?

So, he's allocated three days
for the families.

What? Three days?

Doesn't sound like much.

Each one, each family
gets an individual slot

to make their presentation.

What about this judge -
do we know any more?

The Home Secretary has appointed
Sir Murray Stuart-Smith

to review all evidence
that has not yet been presented

at any of the previous inquests
or inquiries, so there's the rub.

It has to be new evidence.

Labour wants this looked at again.

We just need to provide them
with the ammo.

So let's get to it.

We don't give Stuart-Smith any
choice but to order new inquests.

You're right.
Yeah.

Come on.
OK. Good.

Dad?

What's it like?

Living on your own?

It's...

It's different.

Don't you ever get lonely?

At first, I did, yes.

But I didn't think
it was going to last forever.

I missed my little mophead,
didn't I, eh?

And I still do.

Why do you ask?

Ever since high school,

I've been Kevin's sister.

I dunno, I...

I just want to do something
for myself, you know? Just be me.

Is that awful?
No, love. No.

It's normal.

Have you told your mother?

No! It's like...

she senses what's coming
every time I pluck up the courage.

You're 18, love.
Nearly 18.

So you can make your own decisions,
then, can't you?

Hm?

You are entitled to your own life,
darling.

Sheila?

Sorry I'm late. I got a bit lost.

Are you all right?

He's got his offices here?

I did tell you,
Elkan's a bit different.

Come on!

Time to get you a new solicitor.

Thanks.

There you go.
Thank you.

I've followed your case
since The Cook Report, now.

And even then, your evidence
stood out as being so strong.

I remember saying to my wife,

"Let's see how they wriggle out
of this one."

Elkan was the first lawyer to sue
the police after the Toxteth riots.

Well, I don't know
if I was the first,

but thanks, anyway.
There are similarities, though,

aren't there, with our case?

The police seem to think
they're unaccountable.

We have to make them think again.

There, I do agree.
Listen,

whoever represents you
when you meet Stuart-Smith...

I really do think the role
of the West Midlands Police

needs to be looked at
much more closely.

And, well, as it turns out,
their investigation

wasn't quite as thorough
as it should have been.

Well, I think...

there's grounds for new inquests.

'Seabird'
by The Alessi Brothers

# You've been away from land
Too long

# Far too long... #

Whoa, whoa, whoa -
don't stand on those!

That's Kev's body file.

His body file?

What's in it?
Everything.

Witness statements, photos,

Kev's continuity chart
from the first inquest.

You know, all his movements
on the day.

Mum, I... They want everything new,
anything that wasn't seen

at any of the previous inquiries.
Mum!

Can I talk to you about something?

Of course.

I found a flat.

Who for?

You're moving out?

Oh.

Well, our Mike's still here,
you won't be on your own.

Well, your dad won't be very happy.

Oh, right.

Oh, thanks, Steve.
Dad thinks it'll do me good.

Yeah, well...

You dad's right.

You know, love. You just...

You just do whatever you need to,
eh?

Mum...

Come on.

I'm sorry, love.

I'm not cross.

I'm just not ready
to let you go yet!

Come here!
Mum!

Ohh...

Go on, you.

Go and find me Dr West's report,
will you?

What?

'Families of those who died
at Hillsborough have campaigned

'for years for a fresh inquiry
into the disaster.

'Meetings over the next three days
could be their best chance yet.

'16 families will present
what they say is a compelling case

'for a new inquiry

'into the circumstances leading
to the Hillsborough disaster.'

God, so many journalists.

Morning.

Pleased to meet you.

Hiya, Sir Murray. Anne Williams.
Oh, dear, your hands are very cold.

Well, I've had a very long wait,
Sir Murray.

Do you have some of your people
here?

Or are they like the Liverpool fans,

they turn up at the last minute?

Did you hear that?

He serious?

Well, sir, incomplete evidence

would be the first thing
we'd want you to look at.

Not just from PC Bruder
and WPC Martin,

but from members
of the Ambulance Service,

reputable pathologists...

all of whom had their evidence
ignored,

or misunderstood, too.

Following on from this
is the coroner's decision

to deem evidence after 3:15pm
irrelevant and inadmissible.

We strenuously resist
the 3:15 cut-off, sir.

It means evidence Kevin might
have been alive after that

has not been properly considered.

Dr West says Kevin died

from damage to the airways

providing oxygen to the lungs -
it's treatable.

Treatable if the necessary
medical resources are available.

We contend that Kevin could have
been saved, summary.

So what Dr West is saying is
if a tracheotomy had been performed,

it's possible that it might have
saved his life.

Yes, and, sorry,
can I just point out

that Dr Slater,
who did the post-mortem,

he put down Kevin's injuries
as chest injuries?

That was on the Form 99.
Now, that was wrong.

We wrote to the coroner
and pointed this out and, well...

then, Dr Slater,
he then rectified his mistake.

But I understand Dr Slater
hasn't changed his opinion

of Kevin's cause of death?
Yes, sir, that's correct.

But if he was wrong about that,

then what else
could he be wrong about?

If we can just look at
what happened after 3:15,

then, you see, it throws up
a whole range of questions.

I mean, why wasn't there
somebody there

who could perform a tracheotomy?

I mean, why wasn't there
more ambulances?

And why is PC Bruder's evidence
not being given the credence...

well, it so clearly deserves?

The police heard
over 3,500 statements.

And the coroner had to select
which witness to call,

which witness to summarise...

So the mere fact that
a witness came to light now

whose evidence was not called,

or was not summarised,

does not seem to me to necessarily
give rise to the inference

that it was improper.
It seems to me that...

well, there's an argument

that one should at least
follow the paper trail.

All the evidence
should be investigated.

I don't wish to jump to conclusions,

Mrs Williams.

It may be at the end of the day

that I'm not able
to recommend fresh inquests.

But,

I might be able to ascertain
with a greater clarity...

what happened to Kevin in the last
three quarters of an hour.

Look, I KNOW what happened to Kevin.

I have tracked EVERYBODY down.

I have spoken to all those people.
You know, I have spent...

hours and hours
with forensic pathologists...

That might well be so.

Please.

Sir Murray, you know...

this is all I have left now
of my son, his memories.

Please. Look at him.

Let me put my son to rest.

Grant us a new inquest.

You did brilliantly there.

Um, you go on,
I'll catch you outside. OK.

PC Bruder...

Mrs Williams! Hello!

Hiya!

Well, I'm... I'm so glad
they called you in.

They didn't.

What?
Nobody got in touch.

I read about it in the Echo
and wrote to the judge myself.

Well, in that case,

even more thanks.

Here y'are...

What's he like?

Well, he's a bit scary at first,
but...

he does listen. Just...

Don't let him talk down to you.

No, I won't.

I'll just tell him the truth.

Thank you.

I mean it.

I told you I would.

I know, it's just... Well...

It's not very often people do
what they say they're gonna do.

PC Bruder?

Yep.

This way, please.

Good luck.
Thanks.

See ya.
See ya.

I suppose I'd...

..better...

..or I'll never leave!

I'm always here for you.

Don't.

Sara, are you ready?

Yeah, one sec.

Come on.

You know, and...

Well, your room's always there.

I love you.

I love you.

Right.
Go on.

Good afternoon.

And may I simply start
by thanking you all

for making the journey down
once more?

Our objective in ordering
this extensive scrutiny

was to assess the quality

of any new evidence

and whether that evidence

is significant enough
to order new inquiries

into the deaths of your loved ones.

Lord Stuart-Smith
has presided over a prolonged

and very diligent process.

So I am genuinely sorry...

..not to be able to give you
the outcome I know

you all so dearly hoped for.

This has been a thorough
and impartial process,

handled with great care.

And as you are all well aware,

the standard of evidence required

is significant.

You have my sympathies.

It's a stitch-up.

Lip service from start to finish.

'Angry Hillsborough families

'were told of Mr Straw's decision
in a private meeting

'with the Home Secretary,

'and did not stay in the Commons
for his statement.

'There was to be
no new public inquiry,

'no new inquest, no new action

'by the Director
of Public Prosecutions.'

It's a sad day for the families,

and we think it's an exceptionally
sad day for Britain.

We say, New Labour, new cover-up.

We asked for that.

We've been way too passive
since Labour got in.

We just sat there...

..and expected justice
to take its course.

Different party, same message.

It's not just today,
it's everywhere.

"Football fans are scum."
John...

No, he's right, Teresa.

It's how most people think.

There's a part of them
thinks we deserve this.

Let's take this as our wake-up call.

We need to embrace the survivors

in the fight for justice.

I think we need a brand-new start.

When we get home,

we need to tap into the energy
and the anger

of all those people
who've got in touch over the years

who were desperate to get involved.

I mean it, now's the time.

We need a new group.

'I've never been any good
at telling people what to do.'

'Don't be so wet -
just get on with it!

'Was that necessary?'
'Well...

'Girl would try the patience
of a saint.'

Oh, good.

Got yourself something to eat.

I've saved you some there.

I'm all right, love.

I had a butty on the train.

I'm sorry, you know.

Honestly, love...

..I'm done with it.

I think.

I don't know.

I am this close
to packing it all in.

Are you OK, love?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sound.

Are you sure, love?

I've been so wrapped up
in all this...

Can't have been easy for you.

Oh, don't - pack it in, Mum.

I don't need to know
all the details,

and I REALLY don't want
to talk about it

day in and day out,
but I'm glad you're doing it.

I am.

I'm proud of you.

Mum!

It's all set up.

Right!

Wow!

Go on, have a mess!

And now, the good bit.

Brilliant!

So you can write as many letters
as you want now!

Who says I'm writing letters?

River!

Come on.

I was tired of it all.

I just wanted people to hear it,
you know?

All the evidence we found,

everything we'd been through -

so I put it all down in a book.

I've called it
When You Walk Through The Storm.

That's nice.

So, are you going to grace the new
group with your presence, madam?

I like the name,
Hillsborough Justice Campaign.

It's good, isn't it?
Yeah.

Gets right to the heart
of what we're about.

Like John said,
we needed a complete new start,

so that's what we've done.

It was always you who said get the
fans and survivors on board, Anne.

I know.

Come on!

Get involved again.

I'll think about it.

OK. I'll take that.

Can you sign here, please?
Yeah.

Thank you.
Ta.

Um, Sheila Coleman said
you might stock my book for me.

Right. Well, hello.

I'm Peter. Lovely day we're having,
pleased to meet you.

Sorry!

I'm Anne, Anne Williams.

And I lost my boy at Hillsborough,
Kevin - our Kev.

I know.

Well, I've written a book about him.

Well, it's about everything
that happened.

Of course we'll stock it for you,
it kind of goes without saying.

Where else are you selling it?

Er... I don't know.

See, I've never done anything
like this before.

Well...

Come on.

Wha'?

I've got me van outside,
we'll go round all the bookshops.

Have they had you
on Radio Merseyside yet?

No, no...

Oh, Jesus!

Well, I know a guy
that knows a guy...

that knows a guy
that knows some fella...

I bet you do!
I do!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
Thank you.

Nice to speak to you.
You too, bye.

And thanks!

They were very nice in there.

They said they'd give me a call

if they need any more books.

Are you OK?

You were there, weren't you?

Yeah.

Me and my mate,
we went into Leppings Lane.

And as soon as I went into
that tunnel, I wished I hadn't.

The weight of that crowd...

It turned me around.

I went in with my back to the pitch.

And it just got tighter...

..and tighter and tighter.

Do you know the thing
that gets me most,

even now, over and over?

Those coppers,
they were right there.

They were right there and they
could see what was happening.

And they just...

..stood there...

..and watched.

There was people at the front,

just-just in front of me,

and they were pressed

right up against the railings -
I mean right up.

They were going purple.

So many of them were kids.

Did we mean so little to them?

Everyone thought that because
we got out, we were the lucky ones.

We got out, but we've got no voice.

But you do have a voice, Peter.

You know, my Kev...

he can't tell me what happened
in those last minutes...

..but YOU can.

And you have to.

'David Duckenfield was the man
in command of policing Hillsborough.

'He was the man accused
by the victims' families

'of being responsible
for their deaths.

'Today, Duckenfield walked away

'from court - the jury
couldn't reach a verdict.

'The memories remain, too,

'for the families
of the Hillsborough victims.

'They travelled across to Leeds
from Liverpool every day

'to watch every minute
of the six-week trial.'

Thank you.

See ya later.

I do miss Steve, Teresa.

Course I do,

but, you know,

after a time, you do get used
to being on your own.

I actually quite like it.

I don't know what I'd do
with myself.

And I certainly don't know
what he'd do.

All right, mate?
All right, mate.

Can I help you, love?

Do you...?

Do you want to talk to somebody?

Come and sit down.

What's your name?

Colin.
Hiya, Colin.

I'm Anne.

You all right?

Yeah.

There you go, love.

Ta.

So, are you going to the match?

Er, yeah.

Did you lose someone, Colin?

At Hillsborough?

Well, not on the day, you know.

Not in the ground.

He was me best mate.

He, um...

He never really got over it,
you know?

Some of the things he'd seen...

that day.

He could...
He couldn't live with it, you know?

Hey.

I'm sorry, I just miss him so much.

Hey, it's all right.

Come and sit down, will you?

Have you got any Cornettos?

Cornettos? You're just about
to have your tea!

Just fancy a nice mint Cornetto.

You're not pregnant, are you?

Oh, my God.

You are, aren't you?

Sara, you've just turned 20!

Same age as you were
when you had our Mike.

Well, that was then!

How do you feel about it?

A bit scared, like,

but it's brilliant, I'm made up!

Come here!

So am I!

Right.

Well, that's made my mind up, then.

What has? About what?

You can't stay in that little flat,
can you?

You're going to have to
move in here.

Well, there's no room in here.

Well, there will be when I move out.

Look, I have been thinking about it
for a while.

No, Mum. No.

Yes, Mum.

Yes.

I want you to.

'Are you sure you're gonna be OK?'

Will you behave?

Well, erm...

See you later, then, yeah?
Yeah.

See you, love.

Mum!

'It's all down to this...'

'Shevchenko...

'Ohhhhh!

'Liverpool! They've done it!

'In the most dramatic fashion
ever seen!

'And the European Cup
is coming back to Anfield!'

Hiya! You all right?

Ooh! Thank you.

Cheers, thanks.

'So, look,'

the last thing any of us wants

is to unfairly raise
your expectations,

but we're quite excited by this case

that's just come through
the European Court of Human Rights.

With respect, Elkan,
the court rejected

the Family Support Group's
private prosecutions.

So why is Europe gonna care?

Hear him out, Anne,
he's on our side.

It's fine, she's right.

Who knows if it will, but it could
be worth us looking very closely

at this updated Article 2 -
the right to life.

Now, look,

our argument would be that Kevin

was essentially in the hands
of the state when he died,

so the state has a duty of care
to properly investigate his death.

And if we can show that
that has not, so far,

been the case, then...

there's a possible route
to a new inquest.

You think?
Look, it's gonna take time.

Let's be in no doubt about that.

I mean,
before we even get to Europe,

we've got to resubmit
with the UK Attorney General.

What about the other families?
I mean...

Well, they want justice, too.

I know what you're saying,
but, look...

there hasn't been
a significant breakthrough

for quite some time now,

and a successful new submission
will, of course, benefit everyone.

If we can get Kevin through Europe,

it'll...

It'll open things up for everyone.

Let me think about it.

So, that's where I stand.

The legal team have
made it crystal clear

that this is basically a test case,

and it is just Kev at this point.

Tell us something new.

It's always just Kev with you,
isn't it?

You do know that "all for one"
doesn't necessarily mean

all for "one", don't you?

That's not fair. Come on,
let's keep this decent.

No, no, look, he's got a point.

Maybe it is about Kev for me.

But then I am Kev's mum.

If I can get Kevin through,

then everyone else
gets through, too.

"Our Kev" first, though, eh?

There's no need for that.

We should just support Anne
come what may.

Surely, anything that keeps people
talking about Hillsborough

and keeps us in the spotlight
can only be a good thing?

No.
It's a basic matter of principle.

Come on. This is who we are.

The collective, not the individual.

You know what?
I didn't expect a round of applause.

But I did hope most of you
would understand.

Comments like that don't help,
do they?

I'm trying to keep it in the group.

Listen, let's have a little
five-minute break. Cool it down.

Come back in five minutes, have a
cup of tea and talk about it, yeah?

Anne!

They will support you, you know.

There's always one or two
needs to let off steam,

but we will always support you,
you know that.

Look, I feel like
I'm always battling.

I do not want to be
put in a position

where I have to justify
how I feel about my boy.

I'm going it alone.

Me and Kev - I'm done with it.

Hiya, love.

There we go.

I brought you a hardy perennial.

Just like your mum!

You know, Kev...

..it's been 20 years.

I can't believe it.

I miss you so much.

There's not a day goes by
that I don't think of you.

I love you.

Right - let's get this planted,
shall we?

Cos it's freezin'!

Come on, then.

Give it to me straight.

It's a no from Europe.

Why?

Out of time.

Out of time?!

I'm so sorry.

Ha!

They've said we should've
put our application in

within six months
of the Stuart-Smith verdict.

Four years, for this?

I'm sorry, Anne.

God knows how you must feel.

Hm.

You know,

I'm waiting for you to go,
"April Fool!"

Wow.

20 years.

Yeah, well, you know what?

Maybe I am the fool for keeping on.

Hm.

'There's gonna be a documentary
to mark the 20th anniversary, Anne.

'We've got an incredibly moving
interview with Jenni Hicks,'

talking about the ride back
from Hillsborough on the day,

and that's the theme
I want to expand on.

The mother's journey.

And I just wondered...

..whether you might go back with me?

To Hillsborough?

Oh, Christian, that's a no.

You do know I've never actually
been inside the ground?

I realise it's gonna be hard,
Anne, but it has to be -

for the full impact
to land with our listeners.

It's the 20th anniversary.

20 years, still no justice.

We have to make our listeners
understand that.

We have to make 'em feel
what you feel.

Well, then...

..I think I need
to take someone with me.

You know, someone who was
actually there in the pens.

Someone who can tell your listeners
what it was really like.

One-two, one-two-three, one-two.

Anne, you never actually wanted
to set foot

inside this football stadium,
did you?

No...

Well, a lot of the families did
come back in the beginning, and...

well, I did want to go
inside the ground, but...

I suppose at the time, I was...
Well, I was just too ill, you know?

Steve, what's going through
your head, as you stand here now?

20 years on, what do you remember?

I dunno.

It's scary.

I remember, erm...

coming through the turnstiles...

I was waiting for me mate.

And that's... That's where they
opened the gates, the exit gates.

I saw two policemen walk over

and order the steward to open them.

Big, blue concertina gates.

They claimed the fans
kicked them in,

but someone tell me how you break
down a metal gate like that?

And is this... eventually where
you went in, onto the terrace?

Yeah.

That's the tunnel.

That's it.

Look at it.

Look how wide it is - it's nothing.

You know, what's it going to take -
six, eight stewards to close it off?

That's all that needed to happen.

If you're opening the gate,
you block off the tunnel first.

20 years, and still no-one's holding
their hand up to that blunder.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Steve...

Kevin was pulled from Pen 3...

at 28 minutes past three.

Can I just ask, Steve,

where did you first see Kevin?

He was there.

He was just there.

That's... That's where everyone
was getting pulled up.

All our fans were on the upper tier,
and they were just leaning down

and they were just grabbing anyone
that they could.

Why Kevin?

Why was he one of the first people
that you helped?

Well...

It wasn't just me,

there were a few of us...

We seen him,
we went straight to him.

Cos, well...

he was alive.

He was on the hoarding.

So me, Tony O'Keefe and the others

picked him up and we ran him
to the far corner -

that's where all the people were
getting seen to.

I thought... We all thought...

"He's in good hands now.

"He'll get looked after."

Thank you.

You know, looking here now,
there's, what...

400 seats?

And over 2,000 were led in here
like cattle.

And then we're left
to live with the lies.

You know who's standing here now?

I can feel Kev's spirit!

And it has brought the fight back
in me.

'So just a couple of last links,
if that's OK?'

Anne Williams has recently set up
a new group - Hope For Hillsborough.

Can you tell us a bit about that,
Anne?

I just felt there was a need
for something more...

intimate, if you like.

You know, with the 20th anniversary
coming up,

what's great is there's this new,
younger element,

who are as determined to fight
for truth and justice as I am.

And we just heard
that Andy Burnham MP

is going to be addressing
the 20th anniversary

on behalf of the Government.

Do you think
this Labour administration

is going to give you
and the other families

the justice that you've been
fighting for, for all these years?

Andy Burnham's a politician!

He'll come up to Anfield,
deliver his soundbite,

and then he'll piss off
back to London!

You're not going away, are you?

Only in a box.

'On this, the 20th anniversary

'of the tragedy at Hillsborough,

'which broke the heart, but not
the spirit of our community...

'..never walking alone
without a memory of those we miss,

'without a prayer
that God would bless those

'whom we love,
but no longer touch...'

We've got to get our skates on,
here.

The stewards are saying they're
going to be closing the Kop soon.

Closing it, why?

It's completely chocker, girl -
there's thousands here.

They're opening up the whole ground.

'Abide With Me'

# ..And comforts flee

# Help of the helpless

# Oh, abide with me

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

And I'd like to now
just introduce you

to the Right Honourable
Andy Burnham,

Secretary of State for Culture,
Media and Sport.

Remembering any loss of life
in this scale is painful.

It is harder when a tragedy
was no natural disaster,

but entirely man-made,

when it involved
so many young people...

..and when those who have lost most

have suffered
so many more dark days ever since.

Hillsborough left deep wounds
that will never heal -

its horror not diminished
by the passage of time...

the TV images
still harrowing to watch.

Well, today, as the Prime Minister
has asked me to convey,

we can at least pledge

that 96 fellow football supporters
who died...

..will never be forgotten.

What about justice?

What about justice?
What about justice?

And he asked us to think
at this time...

- Justice!
- Justice!

What about justice?

Justice!
Justice!

Justice! Justice!

Justice... for the 96...

Justice...

for the 96!

# Justice for the 96!

# Justice for the 96!
