New 999 Series Delves into Complex Crime Cases with No Easy Answers
Tonight on Channel 4, the 999 series returns with a new run of episodes that promises to be as intense and gripping as ever. The first episode, titled "What Happened Next," sets the tone for the rest of the series, showcasing two complex crime cases that will keep viewers guessing.
In Suffolk, a man is found stabbed to death outside his house, while in Hertfordshire, a car belonging to a woman accused of drug dealing is set on fire. At first glance, it seems like straightforward cases, but as the police investigation unfolds, things become increasingly complicated. Through a combination of footage and interviews with officers and victims, the show reveals details of stalking, lies, and a lead that takes us back to someone who was under a protection order.
Meanwhile, ITV1 is airing "Killer in the House: The Murders of Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan," a documentary that tells the shocking true story behind two murders that took place over three decades ago. For the first time, we hear from the Howell children, who grew up believing their mother had taken her own life but were recently told a very different truth.
Later in the evening, Channel 4's "24 Hours in Police Custody" takes us inside the investigation of Carson Grimes, one of the UK's worst serial paedophiles. After new accusations surfaced, officers launch a fresh inquiry and are inundated with stories from previous victims as well as a disturbing discovery that sheds new light on Grimes' past.
The night also sees the season finale of "Dark Winds," a Navajo cop drama set in the 1970s. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Joe and Gordo's train station stakeout yields results, but not before they share a poignant moment together.
Other highlights include "Live at the Apollo" on BBC Two, featuring comedian Tom Davis hosting rising star Kae Kurd and Louise Young, and "Things You Should Have Done" on BBC Three, which returns with more laughs as Lucia Keskin's character navigates her way through life with the help of a dodgy therapist.

it's all about details and who to trust. we need more transparency and accountability from law enforcement, especially when it comes to vulnerable victims of crimes 
it's not just about solving the case, but also about supporting those affected by it. i wish they would explore this aspect more in these shows instead of just focusing on the crime itself 
But what's crazy is how they're showing all these different angles and clues, making it feel like we're right there with the investigators trying to piece everything together.
But what really gets me is how they're shedding new light on that serial paedophile, Carson Grimes. It's just so disturbing, but I'm also kinda fascinated by it? Like, how does someone become that bad? 
Anyway, Channel 4's got some other great stuff lined up too...
season finale of Dark Winds is def gonna leave me needing more whats up with Carson Grimes tho serial pedophiles dont get the time in the sun they deserve 
.
. It'll be interesting to hear from their kids and see how it all went down.
. Lucia Keskin is hilarious! Anyway, it's gonna be a long night of watching these intense cases 
It's not like we're all just invested in the case because it's our job or anything.
. And what's with all the stabbing and fires on Channel 4 tonight? That doesn't sound like fun to watch at all 
. I'm gonna stick to my "Live at the Apollo" show later 
.
cant wait for the episodes to drop though iv had a bad habit of skipping shows at the last minute lol
And don't even get me started on the repeat episodes of "Dark Winds" - can't we have some new ones instead? I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in some kind of TV schedule loop 
. Anyway, on to more pleasant things... I guess the documentary about Lesley Howell's murder is kinda interesting 
.
cant believe the Howell kids finally spoke out about what really happened... & Carson Grimes serial killer doc is SO disturbing 
I'm so hyped for this new season of 999! Those crime cases sound super intense and complex - no easy answers here! 
ugh my anxiety is spiking just thinking about it 
. And then you have the investigators trying to unravel all this, while also dealing with their own personal demons and emotions 
. It's like, what even is right and wrong anymore? Is it just about following the law, or is there something more to it? The fact that new accusations are coming in on a serial paedophile case makes me wonder if justice is ever really served 
.
.
. I love how the show is bringing these unsolved crimes to light, even if there aren't easy answers. It's like, yeah, justice might not always be served, but at least we're having these conversations and trying to understand what went down 
. Can't wait to see more!
