Appropriate Adult Season 1 Episode 1 – Episode 1
Appropriate Adult tells the extraordinary story of Gloucester housewife Janet Leach who played a key role in the uncovering of the crimes of Fred and Rosemary West.
This factual drama centres on the period of time between Fred West’s arrest, his suicide in 1995 and the conviction of Rosemary West, and how Fred confided in Janet Leach who took the role of the ‘appropriate adult’ during his police interviews.
‘Appropriate adults’ are volunteers who can be asked by the police to sit in on interviews with minors or vulnerable adults in order to assist them and safeguard their rights.
Episode 1:
Janet Leach finds her life being turned upside down after she is requested by police to sit in on interviews as an independent safeguard on behalf of a man they have arrested. He soon makes a shocking confession of murder. Janet then finds herself being drawn right into the middle of the investigation and a strange personal relationship with Fred West, who gives her other information about victims that she cannot tell the police about because of her confidentiality to him.
