Catriona MacPhee

What do you do when you think you’ve found the perfect guy online, but all isn’t as it seems? Matched with a Predator exposes the crimes of prolific romance fraudster Christopher Harkins. Harkins stalked dating apps in search of his prey: attractive, smart, career-driven women. His charming, successful and generous front concealed a darker truth, as he stole from and abused women he’d met online, and was found guilty in one case of rape. This is the story of those same women’s fight to be heard when their initial police complaints went nowhere, and of their fight for justice against this insidious form of male violence.

Journalist Catriona MacPhee goes undercover as a cleaner at Castlehill Care Home in the Scottish Highlands, spending around seven weeks in the role. The documentary reveals deeply troubling conditions: neglect of basic care tasks, inattention to residents, inadequately followed care plans, staff shortages, unsanitary conditions, emotional distress among residents, and instances of intimidation or mistreatment. The film aims not only to expose failings at Castlehill but to raise broader questions about care home regulation, staffing, dignity, and accountability in the care sector.
