True crime doc viewers cant stop thinking about | UK News

A gripping new sequence of a beloved BBC documentary programme has returned to tv, with another disturbing episode scheduled for broadcast tonight.

Offering audiences extraordinary access to police operations, Forensics: The Real CSI has been hailed as important viewing for true crime lovers, notably admirers of 24 Hours in Police Custody. It offers exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of forensic specialists who assemble crucial evidence during investigations.

Initially launched in 2019, the true crime programme has confirmed enormously profitable with BBC Two audiences as it immerses viewers in real circumstances within the West Midlands Police drive.

Now getting into its sixth sequence, the opening distressing episode aired last week, with the next chapter due to broadcast at 9pm tonight (March 8) on BBC Two.

Tonight’s episode will comply with officers monitoring down a man who has brutally assaulted a lady in a phone box, with detectives required to find very important evidence after the crime scene turns into “contaminated with fingerprints”, stories the Mirror.

A BBC synopsis reads: “In the early hours of Saturday morning, a woman calls 999 – she’s been attacked and raped by a stranger in a public phone box in Birmingham.

“Police and forensic groups race to determine the attacker before he can strike again. While the sufferer is taken to hospital, a detailed examination of the telephone box for evidence proves difficult, as it is contaminated with the fingerprints of so many members of the public. While detectives explore CCTV footage and a cluster of fingerprints, it is DNA evidence that might show essential.”

The episode will also be accessible for streaming on BBC iPlayer shortly following transmission. Audiences will need to wait a further week until the third instalment broadcasts, scheduled for release on BBC Two on Sunday, March 15.
