Simon Cowell is set to launch a new crime television series next month. The 56-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge has joined forces with former policeman and investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas - who exposed Jimmy Savile as a paedophile in his documentary The Other Side of Jimmy Savile - to launch four-part series The Investigator: A British Crime Story. The show will return to the killing of Carole Packman, who disappeared in 1985, and re-examine the event, which saw her husband jailed for life in 2004 for her murder although her body remains undiscovered. ITV has announced The Investigator: The British Crime Story will "follow the case over four explosive episodes, combining stylised drama with compelling documentary".
