The kabbadi thing was mental as well. They never really explained why it all kicked off and it was way beyond someone having an argument and a bit of a punch up.

The second story was so sad. Why the fuck did they have the old fella locked up for months, not like he was going to go on a crime spree or disappear abroad.

the guy was so chilled, it was nuts. you would not have been in the slightest bit surprised if it had popped up at the end that they'd discovered another 50 crimes.

I thought at the end of the first episode, it was going to be revealed he had previous.
Especially as he couldn't instantly deny it when they asked him if he'd done it before

I’m about half hour behind live but this guy is clearly a wrong un
I was definitely being to nice to him there. A really hard watch, difficult to comprehend what you're seeing

And as seems to happen every episode the fucking sentence is nowhere near enough

Only 5 minutes in and this is fucking mental.

Like something you’d see at the cinema.

How this lad slipped through the net, when he`s so very obviously completely nuts is beyond me, you`d have thought at the very least one of his schools would`ve picked up on it.

Where the F did he get a shotgun and enough cartridges to start a one man Pheasant shoot with too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that's the one, imagine being the neighbour.

Mental health services are practically non-existent, especially for anything more complex. Was pretty much the first thing to be cut and it's been cut hard. There's a belief that these things aren't as widespread or as serious as the experts tell us. You see it all the time when something happens, people say stuff like 'probably be blamed on mental health' like it's not a real thing.

He probably has been flagged by a teacher but there's no resources to do anything. I've been watching another doc on C4 about a school in Yorkshire and the number of kids with obvious mental health issues is staggering but it's just left to the teachers. I'm sure there's a lot of great teachers who go the extra mile but I'm equally sure there's a lot that do the minimum, what chance do those kids have?

Very sad if only pregnant women hadn’t taken paracetomol

Interesting to see this episode, I remember this case.

COVID really fucked up some peoples lives.

The fact that he was motivated to do it because of the walking dead game was nuts.

I remember playing that game when I was younger.

I see this is a really old thread, and have bypassed it a few times. Today however, I decided to browse through, as I'd never actually watched the show. Today, I watched the very first episode of series one and also ep. 2. Now hooked and gonna binge over the next week or two! Thanks for recommendation lads! Enjoying muchly!

Caught up on the latest episode from last week I think last night. Really hard watching, and the victim statements are difficult to listen to.
Glad there was justice in the end, but frustrating he was sent back to where he already was happily based at.

Read nobody’s girl and one of the things she was trying to change was the statue of limitations as many victims of abuse don’t get to a point of seeking justice until many many years later and while I have some issues with he said she said where there are many victims the truth comes through the repeated testimony
Thanks for sharing the article - so maddening that people can do this in broad daylight and no one sees or calls them out on it

Yeah, it seemed to just be a tale as old as time with vulnerable children being taken advantage of and no adults/police taking it seriously as they were seen as trouble makers and tearaways.
It was quite touching to see some of them as adults realising there were police officers who were willing to take their stories forward in court. Shame it couldn't have been 30+ years earlier though

As difficult as it was to watch, it was a fantastic piece of " serious " tv, as it joined seamlessly with the original episode.

The whole team that make this series have over the years put together some absolute top notch television with this series, which never comes across as sensationalist or voyeuristic and is always balanced.

Agreed. It is a really good series and I like that the episodes/cases are so varied.
You have cases where some of the offenders are sympathetic and are just victims of their own circumstances, and others that are just pure evil like this latest episode.
