For UK Caftards, this is a drama on ITV 1 at 9.00 pm tonight. Older fans may remember this relates to an incident in 1966 where a local thug shot and killed three policeman.

see http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-killer-may-be-freed-after-38-years-531029.html

I remember this incident very well. Football fans all over the UK used to taunt the custodians of law and order with the chant (to the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down):

"Harry Roberts is our friend,
is our friend, is our friend'
Harry Roberts is our friend,
He kills coppers"

Just in case anyone wondered where the title came from.
