In 2017, broadcaster Shelagh Fogarty began to notice the same face appearing in crowds, on the tube, outside her Leicester Square workplace. She dismissed it at first, but then the appearances became more and more noticeable - he was there when she met friends, when she travelled across London, at her local train station, and once, he was standing right outside her home in South West London. The Followers is the story of how she realised she was being stalked - and how to stop it. The show is available in full on Global Player.
