Celia Imrie takes a trip through the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ archives on a forensic examination of one of cinema’s most frightening franchises, The Silence of the Lambs.

Through interviews with Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster and director Jonathan Demme, we discover how Thomas Harris’s best-selling novels first made the leap from page to screen, and how Hopkins came to create one of the great movie monsters in Dr Hannibal ‘the Cannibal’ Lecter - a character whose notoriety became so phenomenally successful, audiences across the world were left hungry for more.
