Another fan here. Fascinating how the digital world helps the detectives. CCTV cameras have not always been popular but they are a godsend to tracking down a suspect's movements.

Yes it's a fascinating watch. It must be such a relief to the team when they get a guilty verdict after all the work and effort they put into catching the criminals

If you like Murder 24/7 then I would also recommend 24 Hours in Police Custody on Channel 4, which usually focuses on Bedfordshire Police investigations.

Me too. I hadn’t come across this before so went back to watch the earlier series, which is necessary for the DPD murder. The painstaking work on that was remarkable.

Sometimes I find the police questioning a bit haphazard and not as good as one might expect but that’s probably through having watched too many scripted crime dramas. It must be frustrating when dealing with those who exercise their right to remain silent or “no comment”.

I’m a big fan of Law & Order USA (and the old UK version with Bradley Walsh which comes around on repeat every now and again). I'd like to see the trials too.

Some cases where loving family members have been pushed to the limits are very moving.

I agree - and some of the cases are very sad.
It now amuses me when crime dramas investigate murders with just a few detectives - in reality the team would be much bigger.

I find this programme quite fascinating - slightly against my better judgement ...

The scenarios are of course dreadful, but the painstaking dedicated work of the detectives is fascinating and heartening.
