  • Online Child Abuse and Sex as an Undercover intelligence Technique.

    Romeo Trap is perhaps my favourite episode of the BBC1 undercover drama series, In Deep, which I devised and was broadcast for three seasons a decade ago. It recently has had a resurgence of interest, after the DVDs were released three years ago.

    Romeo Trap was one of the first dramas (as far as

  • The Chief Series 2 and 3

    Apart from a series of dramatic sketches on Newsnight during the 1992 election, The Chief was my first broadcast TV.  . 

     I have no idea how many episodes I wrote of these two series, and the quality is probably mixed. Though I'd never, at this point, wanted to write cop shows, The Chief was diff

    Ten years after it was first broadcast, In Deep is out on DVD. I really should have mixed feelings about this. The first series was all over the place.

     Book cover

    REFLECTION ON STOLEN MOMENTS

    Thirty years of poems
    Almost like a photo album
    Except the pictures keep moving


    The person who wrote them
    The person who revised
    The person who reads them now

    They are all different people.
    They keep shifting, leap out
    Or step back into shadows.



    And in this family album
    Of my different selves
    I don't know who I respect:

    The adolescent full of himself
    So full he betrays himself
    And almost sees his future;



    Or the husband and father
    Doing his best, by others standards,
    Hiding behind his kids;

    Or the mid-life crisis lover
    Shrugging it all off with a sudden ardour
    Leaving tragedy in his wake.



    There are some resemblances.
    They must all be related somehow.
    They speak with the same accent.

    But which one is the more honest?
    Which the better poet, let alone
    The better person? I don't know.



    So I'll just have to accept them
    In all their strangeness
    Familiar but unknown

    Even the strangest one of all
    The knowing one
    Who writes this.

    Live Tweeting

    Over the last few years I've created some attention with my live coverage of the phone hacking trial in London, the most expensive and longest concluded criminal trial in British history. There are various accounts and articles about this on the web, including a radio play. My Twitter feed can be found here, and a collation of evidence from the trial, and all my live tweets, can be found at my Fothom Wordpress blog. There's also a Flipboard magazine and a Facebook Page. My Klout ranking is here.

    More Journalism and Books

    Various journalistic articles of mine are scattered throughout the web. There's some kind of portfolio at Muckrack. The most extensive reporting is for the Daily Beast and Newsweek, but there's more at the New Statesman, the New Republic, Aeon etc. I have two non fiction books published in the last year: The Fall of the House of Murdoch, available through Unbound or Amazon, and Beyond Contempt: the Inside Story of the Phone Hacking Trial, available via Canbury Press or also on Amazon. I am currently contributing to a new site for open source journalism, called Bellingcat, and advisor (along with Sir Harry Evans and Bill Emmott) to an exciting new crowdfunded journalism startip Byline. 

    Getting in Contact

    My generic email is my first name at peterjukes.com. That should get through to me pretty quickly. My Linked In profile is here. For non journalistic inquiries, for television stage and film, contact Howard Gooding at Judy Daish Associates. Examples of my television work can be found on IMDB. This links to the site for my forthcoming musical, Mrs Gucci. My radio plays can be found in various audiobook formats on Amazon and elsewhere.
