The Catfish Next Door

The Catfish Next Door

UpcomingDocumentary show

BBC Three and BBC Scotland have commissioned a major three-part true crime series that will explore the shocking case of a British "catfish" whose serial cyberstalking saw her sentenced to a third jail term last year.

Produced by STV Studios Factual, The Catfish Next Door will tell the stranger-than-fiction story of Adele Rennie, a former NHS nurse from Kilmarnock, who was revealed to be behind a string of meticulously crafted aliases. Over a ten-year period, Rennie targeted a number of local women with sophisticated stalking campaigns, which all began online but had far-reaching consequences for her victims.

At Rennie's first court trial in 2017, Sheriff Elizabeth McFarlane described the case as "the most astounding narrative of facts I think I've heard in my entire career". But that was just the start of the story, which saw multiple aliases, hundreds of alleged victims, and the most unlikely of perpetrators.

The series will include testimony from many of Rennie's victims, who will share their experiences as they piece together the truth of this twisting story for the first time. And as they grapple with the lasting personal impact, this series will seek to understand what motivates a cyberstalker to offend, the drive behind escalating crimes, and why there's been such a stark increase in "catfishing" – a practice that is still not considered a crime under UK law.

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States.

At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty.

The Ministry of Time

The Ministry of Time

The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.

The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.

When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
