Summary

This week we head to London, and to 1981, as we explore the mysterious disappearance of 8-year-old Vishal Mehrotra. On 29 July in 1981, as the world waited in anticipation for the fairy-tale wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles, the Mehrotra family made their way into central London to join in with the celebrations. Dad Vishambar worked in a tall office building in the City and knew this would be a great vantage point from which to watch the royal procession. Daughter Mamta, son Vishal and nanny Joannita watched in awe as the crowds gathered below and the newly married couple passed by in their glass carriage. What started as a day of celebration and excitement, ended in despair however, when Vishal disappeared on the way home. Just what happened to this little boy? And who was responsible? Join us as we attempt to answer these, and many other, questions. Check out the true crime horror documentary The Rev which premieres exclusively on the Icon Film Channel from 9 October, followed by all major UK digital platforms from 8 January 2024.
