英国真实犯罪剧集《Believe Me》由BAFTA奖获得者Jeff Pope编剧，根据伦敦黑车司机John Worboys的真实案件改编[1]。该剧聚焦三名受害女性为获得公正而进行的努力，深入揭示了伦敦警察部门在处理案件中的严重失职和性别歧视问题[1]。
Worboys因针对16名女性的23项犯罪被定罪，但实际受害人数据信仅可能远高于此[1]。该剧在英国ITV频道5月播放后，新的受害者随之挺身而出[1]。值得注意的是，三位主要受害女性之一Carrie Symonds后来成为了英国前首相Boris Johnson的妻子[1]。
这部四集剧在澳大利亚ABC频道每周日晚9点20分播出，同时在ABC iview平台提供流媒体播放[1]。警方在办案过程中提出的诸多不当问询充分反映了这一时期的性别歧视态度，包括询问受害者"你认为自己是什么类型的女人"以及"你通常涂红色指甲油吗"[1]。
A four-part British drama titled "Believe Me," penned by BAFTA award-winning writer Jeff Pope, adapts the real case of London black cab driver John Worboys and centers on three women's pursuit of justice against systemic failures within the London Metropolitan Police [1]. Worboys was convicted of 23 crimes against 16 women, though the actual number of victims is believed to be substantially higher [1].
The series follows the experiences of three primary victims as they navigate a justice system marked by serious negligence and gender bias [1]. One of these women, Carrie Symonds, later became the wife of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson [1]. The drama reveals the troubling nature of questions posed to victims by police officers, including "What type of woman do you think you are?" and "Do you normally wear red nail polish?" [1]. Following the program's broadcast on ITV in May, additional victims came forward [1].
The four-episode series airs on Australia's ABC channel at 9:20 p.m. on Sunday evenings and is available for streaming on ABC iview [1].
