The “violent” episode will air on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm, although viewers have been warned in advance, the Mirror reports.
The Channel 4 synopsis, entitled ‘A Moment of Madness’, says: ‘The episode explodes onto screens as a bloodied man emerges from a hotel lift holding a fire extinguisher and screaming that he has killed someone. Will detectives be able to figure out what happened?
The episode is a repeat of the 2017 episode, although Channel 4’s streaming platform appears to have a warning accompanying the program.
It says: “Farse language, images and descriptions of a violent attack which may be upsetting to some viewers. This program is not suitable for young viewers.”
This evening’s episode takes viewers inside the distressing 999 call made after a man was seen with a fire extinguisher at the hotel, with accounts from the first officers to respond. Police Constable Georgina Kindred admitted: “I knew I wasn’t myself.”
