Have you ever considered being a Special or wondered what the role involves? 

Listen as Sarah Severn, who is a Special with West Mercia Police, and Nathan Pawley, the force's Citizens in Policing Programme Manager, give their insight into life as a Special.

For around two years, BBC factual series, Murder 24/7, followed the real-time work of detectives in the major investigation unit at West Mercia Police.

They were given unprecedented access to the behind-the-scenes work that has led to solving some of the most serious, complex and heart-breaking cases the force has ever dealt with.

The series follows murder cases in Shropshire and Worcestershire, from the chilling initial 999 calls right through to convictions at court.

In this episode of Blues and Views, we get an insight into the programme with Colin Barr, the Executive Director and Producer, and Series Producer Vicky Munro.
