As part of an ITV News Central special programme in April 2014 , Wilkinson filmed Paddy Hill of the Birmingham Six inside the former prison wing at Lancaster Castle where Hill had been held during his trial for the Birmingham pub bombings almost 40 years earlier . It was the first time Hill had returned to the prison and his old cell since his conviction for 21 murders was quashed at the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in 1991 , and in an exclusive interview Hill said his time at HMP Lancaster had been the start of a 16-year nightmare to clear his name . Wilkinson had first interviewed Paddy Hill for Central News inside Gartree Prison in Leicestershire in the 1980s before his appeal hearing at the Old Bailey
