How to stream Little Boy Blue on demand, the heartbreaking true story of Rhys Jones' murder

The heartbreaking dramatisation of Rhys Jones' tragic murder Little Boy Blue was brought to our screens again by ITV this week.

ITV's BAFTA award winning drama was shown on TV again and has proved to be just as hard-hitting on a repeat viewing.

The fact-based crime series was originally broadcast in 2017, but it returned to our screens to be shown over consecutive nights.

The four-part show follows the tragic death of 11-year-old Rhys Jones and highlights the police investigation that followed to bring his killers to justice.

It explores the harrowing impact his senseless murder had on Rhys' parents, Melanie and Steve and how the killing impacted the whole of Liverpool, with "grass" culture being brought to the centre stage.

The series was produced with the blessing of Rhys' family, who wanted to send a message to the people responsible for their son's murder and the cover-up which followed.

If you missed the show, which garnered much critical praise and acclaim, it is available on a number of streaming platforms.

If you sign up to a free 30 day trial of Britbox, you can watch the show there.

It is also available on Amazon Prime Video and Sky.com as part of the streaming service's box set selection.

The series is also available on the ITV Hub, where you can watch it for free.

Finally the show can also be bought as a DVD boxset from Amazon.
