Stephen Merchant has transformed into real-life serial killer Stephen Port for BBC One's upcoming factual drama, which has now changed its name from The Barking Murders to Four Lives. Stephen is available to catch up on ITV Hub now. The drama tells the story of the ongoing struggle by Doreen and Neville Lawrence to achieve justice and how a detective, DCI Clive Driscoll – working closely with the Lawrences – puts together an investigation that finally – more than 18 years after his death – secures the convictions of two of the gang who committed the murder of Stephen. Yet six years on from the Inquiry no progress had been made into the case. The drama will chronicle the events from 2006, thirteen years after Stephen’s death on the evening of 22 April 1993 in a racially motivated attack whilst waiting for a bus in Well Hall Road, Eltham.Įven though Doreen and Neville Lawrence knew the identity of their son's killers, the original investigation had failed to convict those responsible, and their extraordinary campaign for justice led to a public inquiry which branded Metropolitan Police institutionally racist and brought about sweeping changes in the law and police practices, and transformed thinking and understanding of racial inequality in the UK. Coogan takes the role of DCI Clive Driscoll who led the investigation into the murder of the Lawrences' beloved son, Stephen. Whyte ( Small Axe, We Hunt Together) takes the role of Doreen Lawrence with Hugh Quarshie ( Breeders) reprising his performance of Neville Lawrence from the original series. Sharlene Whyte, Steve Coogan and Hugh Quarshie play leading roles in Stephen, the three-part sequel to ITV's award-winning drama, The Murder of Stephen Lawrence.
