Police re-open a 19-year-old rape case. Can northern football fans help abandoned children? And how a Wearside shipworker was snapped up by the sixties fashion world.
A woman walking home through a Sunderland park was attacked and raped 19 years ago. As he ran away, the rapist taunted her, telling her she'd never know who he was. Our cameras travel with the police as they finally arrest the man responsible.
In this exclusive report, police describe how advances in DNA science have allowed them to re-open the case. We hear from the rapist's victim what it means to finally bring him to justice - and from his wife as police tell her why her husband has been arrested. Finally the police set out why proposed changes to the law on keeping DNA samples could mean their target might have escaped justice.
Plus, a vicar who spends Saturdays on the terraces at the Riverside joins forces with former England manager Steve McLaren to urge northern soccer fans to travel to next year's World Cup - but not just for the sporting action. Jon Burns wants an army of supporters to change the lives of thousands of South Africa's poorest children using their muscle to work on much needed orphanages. Can he persuade them?
And Chris Jackson meets the Wearside shipyard worker who became one of the most recognised faces of the sixties - the billboard pinup of his generation.
