Intrigue: Lockerbie

Intrigue is BBC Radio 4's long-running investigative anthology, with each season taking on a different global conspiracy or covert operation. The Lockerbie season revisits one of the world's longest-running unresolved cases: the 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people, and the decades of competing theories about who was truly responsible.

Our editorial verdict is "Good if you want one of the world's longest-running unsolved conspiracies re-examined properly". It scores 8/10 on binge factor. BBC Radio 4's investigative strand turns to Lockerbie — who was really behind the bombing that killed 270 people in 1988.

Intrigue: Lockerbie is ideal for: Listeners who enjoy following a single case from start to finish; Fans of original investigative journalism over retold news; Binge listeners who want something they can't stop at one episode; Listeners interested in British cases and the UK criminal justice system.

We recommend starting with Lockerbie — Episode 1. As a serialized show, it's best to listen from the beginning of a season.
