BBC Radio 4 - The Man Who Fell to Earth

Rob Walker investigates the mystery of a man found dead on a west London street.

Rob Walker investigates the mysterious case of a man in his 20s found dead in a suburban street in west London in September 2012.

In September last year, a man in his twenties was found dead in Portman Avenue, a suburban street in west London. He had suffered horrendous injuries to his head and face. He had no identity papers on him and no one had reported him missing.

Rob Walker follows the Metropolitan police investigation into who he was and how he arrived in Portman Avenue. It is a story that spans two continents and eight countries.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
