What People Are Saying

“I met gemma this week after she waived her anonymity to take part in my colleague’s powerful and hugely disturbing documentary ‘al fayed: predator at harrods’. Directed and filmed by Erica Gornall, the documentary… hears testimony from more than 20 former employees who say the billionaire sexually assaulted them.”

— Emma Barnett, The i

“so many of the women in the BBC documentary …required such sensitivity by the BBC director Erica Gornall and producer Cassie Cornish-Trestrail to draw out their stories. It is impossible to watch the film without seeing the lasting pain of their experiences.”

— Henry Porter, The Guardian

What People Are Saying

“We’re right with the police as the investigation twists, and we also meet the victims grieving family. It’s hard to tear your eyes away from the screen.”

— The Sun

“The most striking thing about Catching a Killer…is the level of access involved…. As always though, it is the testimony of the victims family which lingers the longest.”

— The Daily Telegraph

“A terrifying tale for any parent, and in TV terms, an education.”

— Carol Midgley, The Times

“At the time, the case barely caused a ripple in the media. The reason for this was simple and depressing. Mohammed was associated with drug dealers. …The great triumph of A Bullet Through the Window was in showing us what a callous attitude that is…. It is a shameful state of affairs, which this programme quite brilliantly forced us to confront.”

— Rupert Hawksey
