Bubble & Squeak Murder: The Killing of David Jackson is a new two-part true crime documentary that investigates the events leading up to the murder of a 78-year-old man at the hands of his 66-year-old wife.

On the eve of Valentine’s Day 2021, a private birthday celebration in a small Somerset village ended in bloody murder. An argument, apparently sparked by an argument over Penny Jackson’s decision to serve bubble and squeak with a gourmet meal, led to David Jackson being stabbed three times.

During the trial later that year, the recording of Penny Jackson’s 999 call and police bodycam footage of her arrest went viral. The world was shocked by the distinct lack of remorse she showed for her actions.

Bubble & Squeak Murder: The Killing of David Jackson takes a deep dive into the case and looks at the causes behind this act of brutality. The show features first-hand accounts from friends, relatives, investigating police officers, local journalists and psychologists to tell the whole story.

Was this just a trivial argument that went too far or a tragedy over two decades in the making?
