James Bulger: A Mother’s Story (ITV) was the week’s second programme marking the 25th anniversary of an era-defining murder. It contained several of the same haunted interviewees as Channel 4’s The Bulger Killers: Was Justice Done?, all groping for answers in the abyss. There was also the same access to the audiotapes of the 10-year-old killers being questioned by the police.
The difference here was that Trevor McDonald visited the home of Bulger’s mother Denise Fergus, who recalled the unimaginable trauma with extraordinary poise.
