The Bigger The Lie is the eighth and final episode of the first series of The Bill spin off Murder Investigation Team.
Tensions run high in the Bangladeshi Community when the body of journalist Ellen Merrick is found dead in a disused shop in the local market place. Witnesses are reluctant to come forward to the police so the only clue the team have to work with is a bloody trainer print and some fibres from a nylon tracksuit at the crime scene. The team urgently need to find out what story Ellen was working on at the time of her death, but newspaper colleagues are reluctant to co-operate and with silence from the local community, Friend needs to move quickly if she is to catch Ellen's killer, but she certainly doesn't count on another case opening up before her eyes.
