Production

Writer Neil McKay based the story on the gathered research; which included interviews with detectives, relatives of the murdered children, and Hindley's brother-in-law David Smith. The only murder which featured was that of 17-year-old Edward Evans at Hindley and Brady's house in Hattersley. However, the investigation into the disappearance of the four other victims is mentioned on several occasions, particularly that of twelve-year-old John Kilbride.

The serial is the first dramatisation of the notorious murders and was produced to mark the 40th anniversary of Hindley and Brady's trial. It was made with the support of the victims' families, and was based on two years of research.

Greenlighting and filming

It was announced on 4 August 2005 by ITV Grenada, with the victim's families backing the serial.

On 8 October 2005, Maxine Peake was close to signing a deal to portray Hindley, when she was a regular on Shameless (British TV series). At this time, Brady had written to ITV Granada threatening legal action if the drama went ahead.

Filming took place between late October and mid-December 2005 around Greater Manchester. Specific places include Saddleworth Moor, Chester Crown Court, Wardle Brook Avenue in Rochdale, Hattersley, Ardwick and Gorton.

Release

It was released by ITV Granada on 14 and 15 May 2006. The DVD on 7 July 2008, having received a pre-release in North America on 29 April. It was made available for streaming on Netflix, almost twenty years later in late March 2025.

Aftermath

Three years before the hint of a serial, Myra Hindley died at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds on 15 November 2002 following respiratory failure; she was 60 years old. Since the serial was released in May 2006, David Smith and Ian Brady have both died. David Smith died of cancer in Ireland on 30 June 2012 at the age of 64. Ian Brady died at Ashworth Hospital in Maghull on 15 May 2017 following a long illness; he was 79 years old and was Britain's longest-serving prisoner, having been imprisoned for more than 50 years.

Critical reception

The miniseries received mostly positive reviews, such as Letterboxd's Mark Cunliffe praising the performances, saying that "both Maxine Peake and Sean Harris dominate proceedings with a deeply disturbing aura as Hindley and Brady, with Matthew McNulty and Joanne Froggatt equally convincing, grounded portrayals of the Smiths, and George Costigan offering light into the darkness as the dogged, honest DCI Joe Mounsey."

The production won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Drama Serial at the 2007 ceremony.
