Not often I big up the BBC but very compelling watching.

Can't believe I missed season 1 as well .

BBC Two - Murder 24/7

Following teams of detectives and specialists involved in murder investigations.

Season 1 was decent.

You can’t go wrong with a BBC documentary.

Watched all 5 of the 1st series and all 6 of this one up to yet.

Was on the edge of my seat watching the first episode of s2, shaping up to be a good one.

and the DPD warehouse is about 200 yards from OCUK, that's why they use them.

Always look forward to these BBC shows as you get a insight that you rarely get with the ones on Channel 5, with the exception of 24 hours in Custody on Channel 4. If you liked this The Crash Detectives on iPlayer is another good watch.

S2 did feel little disjointed at times especially with how they put some cases over multiple episodes but they'd start 30 - 45 min then roll to the next episode.

Cause Of Death is also a good one, gives a bit of insight into what part of my job is.

Just finished, good season overall. The older chap with the disabled boy was very sad.

Not keen on the C5 format, the ones I’ve tried to watch were just ‘experts’ being interviewed that have nothing to do with the case and zero insider knowledge. Normally the same cockney ex copper thats on all the shows and some psychologist.

Funnily enough me and the wife have watched 100s of forensic/Police documentaries etc and it must be really hard to get away with it.
First rule of thumb is never use your phone to set stuff up and never take it with you.

Yep, still amazes me the amount of criminals take their phone with them and use it to msg each other.
At least some of them are using WhatsApp, the real idiots send texts to each other!

Maybe they think because it's PIN locked they're ok, but the police seem to be able to crack phones now.

24 Hours in Police Custody was one last night with the second episode tonight.

Don't think the police expected that in the first interview!

That was heart breaking, at least the Judge saw sense with the conviction, this in my eyes is where our laws are seriously flawed

I knew it was him straight away, I've watched so many of these I know the format.
They were showing his face immediately in the interview.

Always look forward to a Police Custody episode, just wish they’d release proper seasons rather than infrequent, random episodes

You understand why they don't have regular series though.

Criminals aren't really good at keeping to TV schedules.

The long pause before answering “No” to the “have you done anything like this before” is a bit worrying
