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.

Ditto. And the police taking HOURS over coming out to her Keeping her up for hours like they are the fucking Gestapo

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 21:47

Or saying in another can first. Or forgetting to put a Tampax in

now I know rape is about power but still surprised he carried on after assume finding and pulling out Tampax

and the way he comes across all nice in the police room yet scribbling out his notes saying about sucking her tits

I get the red nail polish now

shame on those mentioning it before it was shown

Oh my goodness this is just horrendous.

And I bet the police haven’t changed that much in the last 20years. Well we know they haven’t

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 21:58

2 woman this time ? Thats getting braver

and what are the odds of another cab driver driving round the next day to look at a house

I don't get how they never find any of his DNA on the girls!

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 22:28

@Meredusoleil i think he wore condoms

PrettyLittleRose · 11/05/2026 22:38

This is harrowing to watch. I feel so bad for the first woman who the police don't believe.

Forcing drink and drugs down these women, awful! And the second woman so far is trying to deny (to herself) what happened, as she can't bear the shame of it. The Welsh woman's boyfriend is pissing me off too. How DARE he? Saying to (I think) his sister 'we don't think anything happened.' Twat.

I am sick of hearing SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-KODA! on EVERY AD BREAK though! (On the Skoda ad!)

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/05/2026 22:46

guessing condoms

tho he took a huge risk opening her door with key and dropping her off

@PrettyLittleRose that Skoda noise is awful it terrifies my cat, I can’t hit mute in the remote fast enough

PrettyLittleRose · 11/05/2026 22:51

I feel like I've missed a scene ... in tonight's episode... John Worboys was in with the police, and I didn't see them looking for him, or mentioning him, or anything. He was just there... being questioned.... Right after the dark haired girl with the dark brown eyes was being examined... (Well, right after the break.) I'm a bit confused.

Edited

It's awful isn't it? 😖

SqueakyFromme · 11/05/2026 22:54

@PrettyLittleRose slightly less horrendous than Audi choir ‘ I like to move it’ but at least that didnt give my snoozing cat heart failure

I think they go by the cctv at campus and see him drop her off

Why didn't the police at least search his cab when they called him in to the station? So many missed opportunities I can't even 😫

He prob wouldn’t have money and bottle every time he went out

tho who know how many times he actually did rape woman

it says 12 but sure many many more who didn’t report or maybe didn’t drink it

@Blondeshavemorefun over 100 reported eventually. They concentrated on 14 cases at trial so as not to overload the jury, and I guess would be a massive job evidence wise.

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/05/2026 09:15

Omg. 100. Wow

Daniel is playing him magnificently imo. Coming across as a cheeky sleeve

Whilst understandable why that happened it still must have been devastating for those who weren’t included in the 14.
Must admit my opinion of Carrie has changed - not about her marrying Boris though!
