Police discover dramatic witness evidence during their investigation into the new suspect. And the full extent of the failures in the Andrew Malkinson case are exposed.

Why did it take so long to free an innocent man? In Shadow World: Stolen Years, the case against the new suspect in the 2003 rape case gathers pace, while Andrew Malkinson finally receives good news of his own.

But as the series turns to the role of the Criminal Cases Review Commission and the appeal system, a deeper question emerges - how was he left in prison for so long?
