Eyewitness was a BBC series which examined how the police investigate crimes and the techniques they use to find their way through the complex web of memory.

In an extraordinary experiment with the Greater Manchester Police, the problem of eyewitness recollection was dramatically brought into focus, alongside the remarkable techniques used by the modern police to counter our unreliable memories.
