A groundbreaking Channel 4 documentary series is returning to television screens with another gripping instalment – and audiences won’t have to wait much longer.

Since launching in 2014, devotees of the programme keenly anticipate fresh episodes as they track Bedfordshire and Cambridge Police force working against time.

Chronicling cases from the moment a distressing 999 call is received, through to a possible court appearance, officers are shown uncovering shocking and harrowing truths while examining serious and major offences that shake a community.

From homicide and sexual violence to drug networks, the award-winning series doesn’t hold back from the intense realities confronting detectives. Another hard-hitting episode is scheduled to broadcast this evening (June 18) at 9pm on Channel 4, which audiences won’t want to miss.

Entitled The No Body Murder, this evening’s episode is a repeat that draws viewers into a complicated investigation when one man vanished, reports Wales Online.

A synopsis reads: “Cambridgeshire Police have a big problem: a murder hunt without a body. A complex search for clues takes them into the woods and across Europe, and features a mysterious post on Facebook.”

Writing on Facebook this week, the Policing Fenland page stated: “When a Wisbech man went missing in 2015 a murder investigation was launched – but it was far from straightforward.

“On Thursday (18 June) at 9pm Channel 4 will show a repeat of 24 Hours in Police Custody ‘the no body murder’.

“The investigation involved some unbelievable revelations along the way and uncovered suspected exploitation and modern slavery. We’re working hard to tackle modern slavery, but we need your help. Please know the signs to look out for and report any concerns.”

One commenter responded: “Seen this programme, truly a staggering case with an ending nobody could have predicted. If you haven’t seen it dont Google what happened, its mind blowing.”

24 Hours in Police Custody continues to attract glowing reviews, with viewers declaring it the “best” programme of its type on television.

On IMDb, one viewer previously commented: “This is a rare reality show that makes all others look like bad tv.”

Another noted: “It’s true crime, at its most honest and also most horrific; I like to believe in the basic good of human nature, but these episodes tell some pretty grim stories, and also show quite how hard it can be to secure a conviction.”

A third remarked: “Gripping, unpredictable, shocking. A fantastic insight into the Police in Beds/Cambs. Unmissable TV.”

Earlier instalments of the programme have left audiences appalled, with episodes also available to watch via Channel 4’s streaming platform. One viewer took to social media to write: “I saw both parts of this investigation and was sickened beyond belief.”
