I thought it was dull historical rubbish that has been covered by World in Action and Panorama numerous times before. Different times when some Police and criminals crossed each others line. The 'huge' and expensive anti-corruption Operation Countryman soon after this netted a massive 2 convictions.

I thought it was decent, but very slow. They have really strung it out to fill 3 episodes. Could probably have crammed nearly all 3 into 1 hour based on what I saw last night!

Crazy that everything in the programme happened 50 (Fifty) years ago. Makes me feel old.

Criminals crossed the line ?

Did they become coppers ?

otherwise

"eight police officers being prosecuted, though none was convicted"

"over 250 police officers were forced to resign and many faced criminal charges after investigations revealed that police membership of particular [Masonic] lodges formed the nucleus of a criminal conspiracy."

"Operation Countryman faced major obstruction from both senior management and the lower ranks of the police. Much of the investigation's evidence was obtained by police officers going undercover as police officers. "

Your comment on the cost suggests that should be the determining factor, rather than any wrong doing.

A most disturbing thought.
