The first of a three-part crime drama, based on real events. Samantha Stobbart's fears about the release of her violent ex-boyfriend Raoul Moat from prison become justified.

I’m watching!

The only thing I remember about this case is the fact that Paul Gascogne was involved.

He rocked up mortal with a cooked chicken and 6 pack of Larger... bizarre!

As a Geordie some of the accents are shocking.. Far too Mackem!

Yes I remember this - was so odd!
Also watching. So awful that this could have been prevented.

It was a terrible summer for gun violence There was the Derrick Bird case a month before this.

the80sweregreat · 16/04/2023 21:51

Those shootings in Cumbria by that taxi driver was awful. So many lives lost that day

Fuckitydoodah · 16/04/2023 21:59

I remember when this happened. Enjoying the programme so far, although given what that man did, feels wrong to say that.

My sister lived in rural Cumbria at that time. All the Youth hostels and hotels were out on highly alert. I think he did try and check into one of them.

I grew up with one of the victims, it was very strange to watch that!

Me too! A very odd watch.

I love how they’ve depicted Birtley 😆

Is it very different?

I live not too far from Rothbury and remember it well. I remember being so scared of our back garden when it got dark at night in case he was hiding- probably stupid but with something like that, you just never know!

Yeah I'm nearby too. My friend lives down the road from the chip shop he robbed. I remember having a beautician's appointment and her locking the door of the shop.

daffodilandtulip · 17/04/2023 12:29

I'm watching. Scary how easily the warnings were missed.

Helendegenerate · 17/04/2023 12:44

Mr Rathband ending his own life after not being able to contemplate the rest of his days without sight. Every aspect of this case was horrendous and could have been avoided but as usual the police can/will not act on a situation which has not yet happened. Moat's ex Samantha was a very frightened woman but was not taken anywhere near seriously.

billysboy · 17/04/2023 18:55

A very interesting watch

Riverlee · 17/04/2023 19:03

I thought it was terrifying at the beginning when the ex-girlfriend was explaining to her new boyfriend what he was like. Chilling.

Fuckitydoodah · 17/04/2023 21:01

It blows my mind that there are people out there that blame Samantha Stobbart and troll her. How dumb can you get?! 🤦‍♀️
