ITV's Believe Me follows the harrowing true story of the victims of black cab rapist John Worboys

In total there are four episodes in the series.
You can watch the first episode of Believe Me on Sunday, May 10, on ITV1 and ITV (https://www.walesonline.co.uk/all-about/itv) X from 9pm.

The second episode will then air the following day on Monday, May 11.

The third episode and fourth episodes will then air the following week on Sunday, May 17, and Monday, May 18.

ITV is set to air a harrowing major new drama following the true story of how the victims of one of the most prolific sex attackers in British history were failed by the system.

Believe Me tells the story of black cab rapist John Worboys who preyed on women who trusted him as a licensed taxi driver.

When they would get in the back of his cab in the 2000s he would drug and sexually assault them.

He was convicted in 2009 for crimes including sexual assault and drugging with intent against 12 women between 2006 and 2008, with their cases selected from a large number of suspected further victims.

The series follows the stories of victims Sarah (Aimée-Ffion Edwards) and Laila (Aasiya Shah) who reported the sexual assaults and were failed by the Metropolitan Police who didn't thoroughly investigate the allegations.

We later see the women fight to keep their attacker in jail years after he was convicted for his crimes.

@Blondeshavemorefun its in the last episode why the Police did not prosecute, (but they didnt exactly not believe them)

They should have been much more harshly punished. The failure to make connections with all these reports is spectacularly stupid.

I've watched episode 1 and at the end, the blonde woman who gets in his cab looks stone cold sober? Please don't tell me he manages to rape her too?!?

Meredusoleil · 11/05/2026 15:01

Ie I'm hoping she doesn't accept his offer of a drink, so doesn't get drugged?

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 15:27

@Meredusoleil

is that Carrie ?

@Meredusoleil

is that Carrie ?

Edited

I don't know her name. The episode ended with her still in his cab chatting away. Carrie as in Johnson, do you mean? She was wearing a lovely Chinese style satin dress in the TV version.

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 16:30

@Meredusoleil i think so, if it is a very attractive and well spoken young woman playing her and scuzzball is telling her she should do 'topless' modelling it is Carrie future Johnson

@Meredusoleil ive just sped through episode 1 and no that is not Carrie at the end, I think she is in episode 2.

So who is she? Hopefully one that got away and wasn't a victim (she writes hopefully 🤞)???

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 18:05

I don’t get why they say at the beginning they they add stuff for dramatisation

surely the woman’s stories are enough

makes you wonder what is real and what is added

I'm watching episode 2 and I don't know if i can continue. I am soo angry and horrified.

What makes Black Cab drivers saints??
I know this happened a few years ago but I trust a uber over black cabs. The uber software has safety mode.

Fuck me the police were useless. You're wearing red nail varnish?? Ffs

Arghhh

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 18:32

@Meredusoleil probably demonstrating another victim.there were over 100 and how he was getting away with it so easily. Carrie turns out to be pivotal so they concentrate on those stories she's quite the hero in fact.

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 18:34

@Boxingshibes red nail varnish I know...have you seen them all though it becomes clear later

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 18:35

I feel I’m borderline spoiling though now, apologies

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 18:44

Yes no talk till 9 😘

I will be watching then

I did think weird /not supportive to have a male do the swabs in e1

surely a female doctor would be better in rape /sexual attacks

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry 😞 it's hard to resist though, indication of a great production when you just want to see them all back to back.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 19:15

Oh totally. I wanted to watch e2 last night - but I’m a good blondes 😛

Exactly what I said about female doctors, but apparently there is still a lack of female forensic physicians. There has been some progress made with the introduction of dedicated rape suites, although it would be much better if none were ever needed.

Red nail varnish 😱 really?

Perrygreen · 11/05/2026 19:53

Miriam Petche plays Carrie in this.

The woman we saw last night was referred to as Fiona in the actual case. What happened to "Sarah" is what happened to Fiona.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 20:53

What is this red nail polish people keep mentioning

@Blondeshavemorefun spoilers blondes, spoilers ……you will have to wait ! 🤣

Meredusoleil · 11/05/2026 21:11

The red nail polish comes up in episode 2 tonight. The whole thing has put the fear in me for my teenage girls possibly going out in the West End or going to uni in Central London.

JenniferBooth · 11/05/2026 21:12

the boyfriend is really pissing me off

Meredusoleil · 11/05/2026 21:35

The police are really pissing me off 😤
