The Cook Report on Hillsborough told the story through the eyes of one bereaved mother, Anne Williams, a tireless campaigner for justice. It was the first programme on TV to dispute the generally accepted line that the disaster in 1989 was caused by drunken Liverpool fans.
It gave the lie to the police version of events, challenged the coroner’s handling of the original inquests and confronted the police Chief Superintendent in charge on the day. Very gradually the tide turned, the original inquest verdicts of accidental death were overturned and after the Hillsborough Independent Inquiry in 2012, the families of the 96 victims had the truth – but shamefully, thirty years on, no one has been legally held to account for the worst sporting tragedy in British history.

This is an independent channel dedicated to the work of the pioneering Investigative Journalist, Roger Cook.
Unfortunately, the entire Cook Report archive was destroyed in a fire at a London data storage facility in 2006, and we would therefore like your help
We have acquired most of these episodes unofficially by reaching out to the Great British public. So some of what we’ve found is not the best technical quality and we don’t have the copyright, which belongs to ITV. Do you have any old Cook Report programmes in your VHS collection? If so, we would appreciate it if you would allow us to digitise and share them on the channel. Thanks in advance! Email: rogercookreports@gmail.com
