 The 2011 TV drama "Appropriate Adult", starring Emily Watson as Leach, focused on the part played by Leach in the police interviews with Fred West, in the visits to the crime scenes, and in Leach's prison visits and correspondence with West.Commenting on the film, retired police officer Bennet, who was in charge of the investigation, said that although the portrayals of Fred and Rose West were "hauntingly accurate", providing "an even deeper insight" into their psyche, Leach's role in the case was exaggerated.Paul Leach, Janet's oldest son, was upset at the way his mother was portrayed in the TV film.
