10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

Episode Plot:
As Baker explains to the press why Hopkirk was released Jeffreys becomes a reluctant celebrity - though not popular with the police, who believed they had their killer. The trail goes cold until Baker has an idea, based on a previous case and proposes to Jeffreys the mass testing of 5,000 local men between 15 and 34 to match their DNA with that found on the victims. Chapman is sceptical, suggesting objections and civil servant Joy Blakefield questions the cost, half a million, though support comes from an unlikely source, prime minister Thatcher. The testing goes ahead though there is resistance in the community until the bereaved Mrs Ashworth speaks out. Ultimately the killer is trapped when, in accordance with one of Chapman's objections, he attempts to persuade a friend to take his place at the testing and the deception is exposed - heralding a new age in police detection.

DESCRIPTION
DCS David Baker headed up the investigation into the brutal murders of two Leicestershire schoolgirls between 1983 and 1987. Only a few miles away, Dr Alec Jeffreys, was a scientist at Leicester University who, on 10 September 1984, invented a remarkable technique to read each individual's unique DNA fingerprint. When a local teenager admitted to one of the murders but not the other, Baker asked Jeffreys to analyze the DNA evidence left at the crime scenes. Both men were shocked to discover that the teenager was innocent, his confession false. DCS Baker then took the extraordinarily brave step to launch the world's first ever DNA manhunt, testing over five thousand local men to track down the killer.
