Brass Tacks was an influential BBC TV documentary programme on BBC from 1977 to 1988.[1][2] Presenters included Brian Trueman, Eric Robson, David Dimbleby, John Ware and John Harrison.[3]

The first episode, aired on 6 July 1977, featured a debate as to whether or not the Moors murderer Myra Hindley should be considered for parole from the life sentence she had received more than a decade earlier.[4]
