Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole.

How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show. 

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
