ITV has unveiled its upcoming true crime drama 'Believe Me', which delves into the chilling story of John Worboys, known as the 'black cab rapist'. Worboys, a licensed taxi driver in London, abused his position to lure women, pretending to be a lottery winner or a big casino winner, before incapacitating them with drug-laced champagne. This drama aims to shed light on Worboys' heinous crimes and the impact they had on his victims.

Convicted in 2009, Worboys received a life sentence for attacking 12 women over a three-year period, with additional convictions rising over the years for more assaults dating back to 2000. The crimes sparked outrage and discussions about accountability and safety within the taxi industry, leading to systemic changes in regulations. ITV's dramatization not only seeks to portray the events but also to highlight the societal problem of violence against women in various contexts.

The casting of actor David Tennant to portray Worboys will bring added attention to the case, as Tennant is a well-regarded figure in British television. As this release approaches, viewers can expect not just a gripping narrative but also a reflection on the broader implications of crime against women and the justice system's handling of such cases. 'Believe Me' aims to re-focus on these discussions, reminding society of the need for vigilance and systemic reform.
