Landscapers is a new four part television drama from HBO and Sky that brings the true story of Susan and Christopher Edwards and the murders they were convicted of to the screen.
The details of a “stranger than fiction” true crime story are addictive. The more we hear about a case, the more it captivates us. We become hooked on the story, wanting more specifics to puzzle over, and more insights into the “why” behind a shocking crime. It creates a loop where you are walking down the street, still thinking about what you've heard. You can’t get it out of your head.
This five- episode podcast series takes us behind the scenes of Landscapers to explore the real life events that make the show so compelling. It is the story of the people who couldn’t get the tale told in “Landscapers” out of their heads as they share the different aspects that pulled them in.
We hear from the creators about the often complex relationship between the ‘real life’ events and the story that emerges on-screen and revisit the real life events through some of the key people involved in the case.

The crucial next ingredient to any great true crime story is the emotional wallop. Right when you think it’s all about the oddity of the case – the safe waters of “weird” – you get hit with that emotional wave. With the Mansfield Murders, the strange facts of the case are what catch the eye, but it's the deep emotional current that holds your attention.
In this episode we get to know Susan Edwards as a person. Her backstory makes us question our initial assumptions about her motivations and experience. As we hear from people who know the real life Susan and Chris, we come to see a more nuanced picture where trauma and perspective suggest there is more to this unusual couple’s story than meets the eye.
Caroline Crampton is joined by Ed Sinclair, creator of Landscapers, as well as Susan and Chris’s solicitor Darrell Ennis-Gayle and actor Dipo Ola.
