The detective, played by longtime SVU star Chris Meloni, returned in a crossover event Thursday that ended with the premiere of his new spinoff, Law and Order: Organized Crime. In a moment, we’ll want to hear what you thought of OC‘s first episode. But first, a quick recap of the hour. (And if you want to read a recap of the SVU ep that preceded it, here you go!)

We start out with Stabler getting chewed out for speaking directly to the bad guys at the courthouse, which could’ve greatly jeopardized the case. He maintains that he’s just trying to get closure on the bombing that killed Kathy, “for my children.” Then he meets up with Liv at a sledding area where Noah is having some fun; she gives El some notes on the case, just in case he gets bounced off of it. They’re talking about his life in Italy, and it’s light and friendly until he mentions how much she would’ve loved where he lived. “I can’t,” she says, somber. “I get it,” he says sadly. Then he mentions that he was asked to give a speech at her awards ceremony but he’s not a fan of public speaking. However, “I wrote this,” he says, handing her a letter, “and I was going to give it to you that evening.” MY HEART. Noah calls, and she turns to leave. Stabler watches them wistfully.

We get drawn into Stabler’s work with the Intelligence Unit, which involves a raid on a warehouse that unearths counterfeit documents, including a duplicate of Stabler’s Italian ID card. The warehouse also contained a hookah joint run by man who was murdered; his mother, Angela Wheatley a math professor (played by Bones‘ Tamara Taylor) is uninterested in helping with the investigation.

The Stablers all gather to discuss the funeral; it’s the first time in the crossover we see Eli, Maureen and Lizzie. It appears that Kathy was under the impression that Elliot wasn’t working dangerous cases while they lived abroad. It also appears that there’s some dissension about El’s announcement that he’s not going to return to Rome. At the burial service, which Olivia attends, Eli kneels at his mother’s grave and sobs. Stabler gets down next to his youngest son and holds him, reassuring him, “I’ve got you.”

law-and-order-organized-crime-premiere-recap-OK, back to the case. Stabler meets briefly with a recently released from prison mobster named Sinatra (played by Chaz Palminteri), who owned the warehouse in question. Stabler asks if he was the one behind the bombing. “If I wanted you dead,” the older man says, “you’d be the one in the ground right now.”

Then we follow Sinatra to his son’s house. Richard (American Horror Story‘s Dylan McDermott) is a rich guy with snooty tastes who was running the club in the warehouse while his dad was in the clink, and now Sinatra is mad that the police are sniffing around. Richard is also doing something in Puglia, Italy. Not going to lie — I’m not 100 percent clear on what’s going on here, but I assume we’ll get more as the season goes on.

Back at the clean-and-pretty part of the NYPD (no grimy squad rooms here!), Stabler is happy to learn that the department is opening a task force into the bombing/warehouse situation. But, to his chagrin, he’s not going to run it. That honor goes to Ayanna Bell (Deputy‘s Danielle Moné Truitt), who gives serious side eye to Stabler’s old-school ways. She gives us more background on Sinatra’s son, who started one of the first online pharmacies and who is involved in illegal drug stuff. Oh, and Richard’s last name is Wheatley: He was married to the professor at one point and took her name, mainly to tick off his father. When they divorced, two of their sons went to live with him; the other, the one who was running the hookah lounge, chose to live with her.

Stabler and Angela are discussing all of this when he notices a guy on a moped acting squirrelly. Pretty soon, they’re under attack. The biker and an accomplice attempt a drive-by shooting; Elliot pushes the professor out of the way and they’re OK, but it’s a close thing.

law-and-order-organized-crime-premiere-recap-The next day, Stabler admits he doesn’t know whether the hit was on him or Angela. Bell reminds him that while their search may drag up the people who killed Kathy, it’s not their prime directive: “Our charge is to bust an international drug cartel that skated under the radar for two decades.” Stabler says he understands… then immediately tunes her out when he gets an encrypted message summoning him to the Coney Island Wonder Wheel at 9 that night for information on who murdered Kathy.

But while Stabler is on his way, Richard finds his father at the Wonder Wheel and lets on that he knows that Sinatra was planning on selling him out to the cops. As they’re riding the giant ferris wheel, it stops with their car at the top. Sinatra, a lifelong racist, apologizes for all of the terrible things he’s said about his mixed-race grandchildren. But Richard isn’t having it. And by the time Stabler arrives, he finds Sinatra with a bullet through his forehead. So he opens the dead man’s eyes wide enough to be able to unlock his phone using facial recognition, then pockets the device. Same ol’ Stabler!

law-and-order-organized-crime-premiere-recap-Back at Richard’s house, guess who’s there: Angela! She takes him to task for the drive-by (“I told you I could handle it”) and it’s clear that they’re not as estranged as she led Stabler to believe. And THEN, although we’ve already had a point-blank murder in this hour, the ABSOLUTE WORST THING POSSIBLE takes place. As Stabler makes an anonymous call about the dead body and nervously heads back into (what I think is) his apartment building, Liv is there. And she’s got the LETTER in her HAND. She wants to talk about it, but he’s sweaty and jangly and when Bell calls, he blows Liv off and rushes upstairs. Nooooooooooooo!

Did Elliot Stabler miss his old squad more than he let on?

Chris Meloni’s character will show up in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit beyond his Thursday, April 1, appearance, the procedural’s showrunner recently revealed.

On Friday, executive producer Warren Leight tweeted that his show had shot “three Benson/Stabler scenes today.” When a viewer asked when those scenes would air, Leight responded, “Yesterday’s scenes were for an SVU down the road.”

As previously reported, Stabler will return to SVU in an episode titled “Return of the Prodigal Son.” That hour, in which the unit supports Stabler as he tries to track down someone who’s been threatening his family, will serve as the first half of a crossover that leads into the premiere of Law & Order: Organized Crime. OC will follow Chris Meloni’s SVU character as he returns to the New York City police department following what the show’s official logline calls a “devastating personal loss.” As he starts to put the pieces of his life back together, he joins a high-level task force set on dismantling the city’s biggest crime syndicates.

But how many times will Stabler show up after the crossover? That part’s a little less clear, though TVLine hears that Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, who plays Olivia, have been seen shooting at least two post-crossover episodes.

No word yet on when the additional Elliot episode(s) will air. TVLine has reached out to NBC for comment.

On Tuesday, it was reported that 400,000 criminal records have disappeared from the police national computer following a technical issue. As this falls under the Home Office’s jurisdiction, Piers Morgan quizzed Priti Patel on whether she would step down from her cabinet position with the UK Government if the problem is not resolved.

Mr Morgan said: “400,000 crime records have disappeared from the police national computer on your watch.

“Can you give us some assurance because we know that in at least one instance a DNA profile from a suspect in custody did not generate a match to a crime scene as expected?

“This has potentially impeded the investigation into the individual’s involvement in the crime.

“Some serious criminals are going to get away with it because of the incompetence of this process.”

He continued: “Just to clarify you do know where they are?

Ms Patel replied: “They are on the systems.”

The GMB host asked: “Which system, which ones?”

The Home Secretary said: “I have already said I cannot tell you the name of those particular systems.”

Mr Morgan responded: “So you are saying as a fact as Home Secretary that these 400,000 crime records which we have all assumed have disappeared, you know with 100 percent certainty that they exist elsewhere and therefore there is nothing to worry about?”

RELATED STORIES

Fargo capped off its fourth season by popping a cap in quite a few characters, as more than one criminal got their just desserts. (And we don’t mean an ipecac-laced pie.)

Sunday’s finale begins by flashing back through all the (many) people who have died this season — R.I.P., Rabbi Milligan; good riddance, Constant Calamita — and the ones who are still left alive aren’t much better off. Josto is drowning his sorrows in booze after his brother Gaetano’s accidental death, and Oraetta is behind bars after her poisoning scheme came to light. She gets bailed out by a mystery benefactor, though, and Ethelrida and her parents get their house back from Cannon’s gang while Josto takes bloody revenge on Doctor Harvard, ambushing him and gunning him down alongside another poor soul before setting fire to the car holding their dead bodies.

Loy is ready to call a truce with the Italians, and he hands over Donatello’s stolen ring to consigliere Ebal, telling him to “get your house in order” to end the war. It’s not over yet, though: A henchman wakes up a drunken Josto to tell him, “We got Cannon. It’s over. We won,” just as Leon sneaks up behind Loy and points a silenced pistol at his head. But he spoke too soon. Loy’s bodyguard Opal grabs Leon just in time, strangling him before he can shoot Loy, while Loy’s men track down Happy and his crew at a diner and gun them down. (We’re racking up quite a body count already, aren’t we?)

Fargo FX Season 4 Finale Josto Jason SchwartzmanJosto sobers up long enough to find Ebal and his entire family ready to confront him… along with Oraetta. “You stand accused of crimes against the family,” Ebal informs him, charging Josto with betraying the family by conspiring with Oraetta to kill Donatello. (Remember when Josto told Oraetta to “take care of” his dad? Well, she took that literally.) Josto frantically pleads his case, but it’s no use; Ebal thinks he killed Gaetano, too, so he’d have full control of the Fadda crime family. Josto and Oraetta are hauled away by goons and driven out to a remote field with a makeshift grave waiting. Josto tries to talk his way out of it — everyone just laughs when he asks, “Hasn’t there been enough killing?” — but he ends up taking a bullet in the head. So does Oraetta… but at least she got her final request of watching Josto die first. A sicko to the very end, that one.

Loy and his family arrive home to find their front door ajar, and Loy pulls out a gun before going inside to investigate. He finds dolls of the family arranged neatly on the dining room table, Satchel’s red hat on the bannister… and Satchel himself asleep in his bed, with his loyal dog at his feet. Loy excitedly hugs him and erupts with laughter, and his wife weeps as she’s reunited with her son. So Loy is sitting pretty when he sits down with Ebal to cement their truce. But Ebal has some “adjustments” to make to their deal: He now wants half of the Cannons’ business, which enrages Loy. But Ebal reminds him that he’s just one guy in one city, while the Italians have cities and families behind them, backing them up. If Loy doesn’t like the new deal, Ebal says, they’ll just kill him and find someone who will play ball. A resigned Loy leaves without a word and tells Opal to go home: “War’s over.”

Loy gazes inside his house’s window from the front porch, looking at his happily reunited family, his eyes welling with tears — when he’s stabbed in the back by Zelmare Roulette! (“For Swanee,” she tells him.) Satchel sees her, and she motions for him to “shhhh” before she drops the bloody knife and walks away. The boy crouches beside his dying father and watches as Loy draws his last breath. (He spilled a bunch of oranges, too; that’s gotta be a Godfather reference, right?) Ethelrida wraps things up by reading aloud from her history report, as we flash back to all the crime families through the years: “Who writes the books? Who chooses what we remember, and what gets forgotten?” We see her in what looks like a flash-forward, as she packs her bags and moves out.

Fargo FX Season 4 Finale Satchel Mike MilliganBut wait! There’s more! Midway through the credits, a car barrels down a dusty country road, and in it sits… Mike Milligan, the hitman from Season 2! With a Kitchen brother behind the wheel, Mike practices loading his gun and aiming it, and looks outside wistfully as we see flashbacks of Satchel and his pup walking down that same road. Yep, this confirms our season-long suspicions: Satchel grew up to be Mike, and took the Milligan surname as a tribute to his late guardian. In the Fargo universe, it turns out, everything is connected.

Fargo fans, you betcha it’s your turn: Give the finale (and Season 4 as a whole) a grade in our polls, and share your thoughts in the comments.

Starz is giving an early vote of confidence to Hightown, renewing the Monica Raymund-led freshman crime drama for Season 2 after only one month on the air.

In its first four weeks, Hightown has averaged a rock-steady quarter-million total viewers and a 0.03 demo rating (in Live+Same Day numbers), which is a fraction of what time slot predecessor Outlander did this spring), but a good 50 percent higher than lead-out Vida.

In a statement, Christina Davis, president of original programming at Starz, said, “Audiences are already deeply engaged with these flawed and complex characters and in a second season we will continue to dive deeper into the relationships between them amidst the shifting tides on the Cape.”

Hightown stars Chicago Fire vet Raymond as Jackie Quiñones, a hard-partying National Marine Fisheries Service agent whose free-wheeling life thrown into disarray when she discovers a body on the beach – another casualty of Cape Cod’s opioid epidemic.

The series’ eight-episode first season is scheduled to conclude July 12.

TVLine’s Cable Renewal Scorecard has been updated to reflect Hightown‘s pickup.

RELATED STORIES

The Ranch is nearly at the end of its eight-part run before Nick’s killer is revealed.

In Episode 7, Beer Pong tells Colt that the murder weapon was found behind Nick’s trailer. Soon after, Wilkerson turns up at the Bennett house and arrests Luke for Nick’s murder. It was his gun they found on the premises.

Be that as it may, Luke didn’t kill Nick. Luke’s gun was in his car — the very car that Mary stole and cashed in for a quick drug fix. And we know it couldn’t have been Mary who ended the ex-con’s life; she was back at the Bennett house stealing a hot shower and some shuteye.

After Luke’s arrest, Colt, Abby, Beau, Maggie and Mary gather in the kitchen. Before long, Heather walks in and asks what happened. Mary breaks it to her daughter that Luke’s in custody, then Colt tells everyone that Luke is innocent. They have no reason to believe that Colt knows the truth — that is, until Abby nudges her hubby and says, “I think you should tell them.” Colt shrugs off the suggestion, then Beau loses his cool. He knows something’s up, and he’s not about to see his nephew rot in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. That’s when Heather interjects and confesses to murder. “I did it,” she says. “I killed Nick.” She then proceeds to tell Mary exactly what happened.

The Ranch 8x07 - Heather Kills Nick“That night, when I saw what he did to you, it brought back every time he hit you, or me, or Darlene… I’ve been scared of him my entire life,” she says. “I went back to the trailer to pack up your stuff so you’d never have to go back there again — and while I was packing, I found a gun. And then Nick walked in, and he saw the gun, and he came at me, and I didn’t know what to do. I just…” At this point, Mary takes Heather in her arms and squeezes her tight.

“You were protecting yourself,” Maggie says to Heather. “I just can’t believe you’ve had to go through this alone.” That’s when Colt interjects: “She wasn’t alone,” he says. “She called me right after. That’s why I was there and got arrested.”

The next day, Colt visits Luke and assures his cousin that he’s going to get him out of jail. He then returns home, where Heather, Mary and Abby join him for a sit-down with Jerry. The Bennett family attorney tells Heather that it sounds like she acted in self-defense, but the prosecution might not see it that way. But Heather is willing to take that chance; she’s going to turn herself in to get Luke out of jail, and she’s not going to tell the police that Colt helped her stash the murder weapon and flee the scene. Jerry explains to Colt and Abby that he’d be charged with accessory after the fact if he turns himself in, and he could face up to two years behind bars. They can choose to keep quiet, but if Colt gets caught, the prosecution will be a lot tougher on Colt and Heather.

'The Ranch' 8x07 - Colt and AbbyColt eventually decides that he just can’t live with himself if he doesn’t come clean. The following day, he and Abby accompany Heather down to the police station. She tells Wilkerson that she needs to talk, but she’s too late. “Is this about your mom? Because we’re processing her right now,” he says. “Mary confessed to killing Nick.” (Wait, what?!)

In a recent TVLine poll, 11 percent of readers said they believed that Heather killed Nick, whereas 13 and 12 percent of readers believed it was Mary or Beau, respectively. An overwhelming 55 percent of voters believed that the Rooster (played by fired former cast member Danny Masterson) was back to rescue Mary from Nick’s clutches, but Part 8 confirmed that Rooster wasn’t just presumed dead — he’s dead dead.

Throughout production on Starz’s Dublin Murders, one of its stars says, you could never quite tell when winter might be coming.

The crime thriller, which premieres Sunday (8/7c), shot many of its outdoor scenes in the woods of Belfast, Ireland, where Game of Thrones filmed. And even though the HBO fantasy series wrapped a while back, “They had walking tours,” Killian Scott tells TVLine, laughing. “And it’s like, ‘Where are the bodies?!,’ and then, ‘Cut, we’ve got Hodor in the background.’ And you look over, and there’s a dude in the full Hodor costume.”

Read on for the essentials about the upcoming series, with an assist from Scott and co-star Sarah Greene.

Dublin Murders Starz Season 1 THE CAST | Dublin Murders stars Scott (Damnation, Love/Hate) as Det. Rob Reilly and Greene (Penny Dreadful) as Det. Cassie Maddox, law-enforcement partners investigating two seemingly unrelated killings in 2006 Ireland. As the search for the killers progresses, long-buried aspects of Rob and Cassie’s pasts surface in myriad ways. The ensemble also includes Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (the Avengers films) and Moe Dunford (Vikings).

BY THE BOOK | Season 1 of the show is based on two titles from Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad novel series: In the Woods and The Likeness.”Obviously, there’s been some changes,” Greene says, but maintains that she and Scott were very aware of the “huge responsibility taking on books that have been around for a while and that people love and adore… They love these characters.”

THE GENRE | Though Dublin Murders may seem to have a lot in common with crime series like Broadchurch (and its American counterpart Gracepoint) and The Missing, Scott says his show has an inherently different feel. “Broadchurch was very naturalistically shot, in many respects, whereas Dublin Murders has a slightly heightened element cinematically, because there is a supernatural, ominous quality — particularly in the woods,” Scott says. “[Executive producer/writer] Sara Phelps described it to me as it’s two characters are walking into Hell, and you’re kind of just going with them and hoping you will come out the other side of it.”

Dublin Murders Starz Season 1 THE PARTNERSHIP | Greene and Scott’s onscreen partnership is incredibly believable — Rob and Cassie are besties as well as co-workers — which is all the more impressive given that they didn’t really meet until the show’s table read. “We were really lucky. We clicked immediately,” Greene says. “One of the things that made it so harmonious and so easy was that neither of us wanted to overanalyze the thing,” Scott adds, citing their shared love of letting scenes play out as naturally as possible

THE MYSTERY |  At the start of the season, “Rob is a guy who’s very much struggling to keep things together and has these demons that become all-consuming,” Scott says. When a girl’s dead body is found in the exact spot in the woods where three kids went missing 20 years before — and one was found, yet had no recollection of what had happened — the series becomes “as much a psychological character study of two people under extraordinary pressure as it is about these cases,” he adds.

We’re back to the beginning in the Elite Season 2 finale, with zero hours since Samuel disappeared. But he isn’t really missing. Samu and Guzman — who now believes the scholarship student — have come up with a scheme to put the pressure on Carla to confess. If she thinks something truly happened to him because of her father, then she just might break, Samuel theorizes.

In the meantime, Samuel hides out at Guzman’s grandparents’ house, where he actually gets caught by the Inspector. But in a surprise twist, she pretends she didn’t see him and goes along with his plan. Where the police failed, Samuel and Guzman actually succeed, forcing a distraught Carla to tell the authorities everything about Marina’s murder.

Carla congratulates Samuel on the fact that he played her and won. The downside: He lost her, he says. “You never had me,” Carla replies coolly, but she’s obviously heartbroken. While we’re on the topic of this odd pairing, I must admit that I didn’t really buy Samuel and Carla’s infatuation with each other, but their storyline definitely made Samu way more interesting (and 10 times hotter). Plus, the actors’ intense chemistry made up for any logic leaps.

Elite Season 2 Finale RecapAs for Carla’s ex, Polo is finally arrested for Marina’s murder. But with no evidence — Cayetana retrieved the murder weapon/trophy to give her beau a second chance, like he did for her — Polo is allowed to return to school after Christmas break. Needless to say, his former friends are shocked to see him walk into the hallway. (How creepy was that final image of Polo looking up? On a different note, how fantastic is it that Guzman and Samuel are now hugging buddies?)

Then there’s Ander, who’s been lying to everyone all season. When he confesses to Omar that he knew about Polo, his boyfriend reassures him that he was put in a difficult position and screwed up, because he’s human. And it’s going to take a lot more than that for him to leave Ander. Guzman, however, is not so forgiving: “Next time you faint, I hope you smash your head open and bleed to death.”

Meanwhile, Nadia almost tells her parents about the sex video circulating around school of her and Guzman. Instead, she leaves the details vague, only saying that she has brought shame on her family and understands that her place is with them. Surprisingly, her dad is kind of supportive and instructs her to delete the video so they never see it.

The release of the video also helps Valerio see Lu’s true colors. In response, he outs their incestuous relationship, instructing their dad to look under the table, where Valerio has his foot up his half-sister’s skirt. Lu is shocked that Valerio would do that to her since he said he loves her. “Sometimes you convince yourself that you love someone, you idolize them,” he explains, “but suddenly they do something, and in an instant, that image you have of them crumbles, and the love disappears.”

Veronica Mars fans, prepare yourselves for a summer of LoVe.

The latest trailer for Hulu’s upcoming revival of the detective drama has more Logan/Veronica (aka “LoVe”) content than we’ve previously gotten, and we’re about to go cruising in a yellow XTerra just to celebrate.

In the video, Kristen Bell’s titular sleuth and her sometime boyfriend seem to be meeting up after a long time apart; Jason Dohring’s Logan informs her that he’s “back for extended leave” from the Navy — to which he returned at the end of the series’ 2014 film — though we don’t find out exactly why.

It seems like the pair gets quite cozy during his Neptune visit, but (shocker!) it’s not all smooth seas for the sailor and his lady. Exhibit A: When Kirby Howell-Baptiste’s character Nicole asks “So what’s the destructive gene in your relationship?,” Veronica sadly replies, “I think it might be me?”

But matters of the heart aren’t Veronica’s only worry this time around, as evidence by the multiple explosions that fill the trailer. Is there a serial killer afoot in Neptune? Who is trying to destroy the city? And what does Big Dick Casablancas’ prison pal — we’re sorry, “friend and associate” — Clyde (Counterpart‘s J.K. Simmons) have to do with it?

Fans of the original series will be thrilled to see Veronica and dad Keith engaging in their usual banter, Dick deeming himself “King of Spring Break” (and later wearing some truly dazzling gold lamé pants) and the return of series standbys like Weevil, Veronica’s trusty taser and Logan’s fists.

In addition to original cast members Bell, Dohring, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Percy Daggs III, Francis Capra, David Starzyk, Max Greenfield and Adam Rose, the ensemble also includes Dawnn Lewis (A Different World), and Howell-Baptiste (The Good Place).

The BBC documentary was fronted by Duwayne, who on April 22 1993 was waiting at a bus stop with his friend Stephen Lawrence.

Stephen was attacked in a racially motivated assault by a group of men who stabbed the 19-year-old to death.

Duwayne looked at the current issues with knife crime in the country to see where the problems stem from and the effect it has had on families and friends of those murdered.

The documentary saw Duwayne interview the mother of Azaan John Kaleem, known as AJ, who was stabbed to death last year at the age of 18 as well as the parents of Elyon Poku, a DJ who went by the name of Nana Banger who was killed at the age of 20 last year in North London.

He also spoke with Beverley and Mark Brindley, parents of James Brindley, who was 26 when he was murdered in an unprovoked attack just 400m from his parents’ home in 2017.

Beverly said: “Something that has resonated with me…the look in the young police officer’s eyes and the doctors and nurses that were there and the paramedics.

“Yes they are trained, they are there to do a job but I truly believe that’s the first time they had to witness and be part of something as horrific as that. Words fail me because nobody should have to be dealing with this. Nobody.

“It’s one of those things. It must be as vivid to you as it is to us. It doesn’t go.”

Duwayne then became visibly emotional as Beverly reached out to comfort him.

Those watching at home claimed they were “heartbroken” by the programme and took to Twitter to comment.

“This is utterly heartbreaking what is wrong with this world! #stabbed:britainsknifecrime,” one exclaimed.

Another added: “This knife crime documentary is so sad. Put the weapons down #stabbed

“What a heavy watch tonight. My heart breaks for those poor parents. #stabbed,” a third wrote.

A fourth added: “I knew knife crime was an issue in the UK but watching #Stabbed is revealing to me just how bad it is. Shocked.”

“Watching #stabbed on BBC. It’s really heartbreaking,” a fifth shared.

A sixth stated: “Absolutely heart-breaking listening to all the families and friends who’ve lost someone to knife crime.. this has to stop !!!! #Stabbed #NoToKnifes #KnifeCrimes #DuwayneBrooks.”

The close of the programme saw Duwayne conclude: “Every one of these attacks wrecks so many lives but I’ve learnt that change is possible.

“The first step is recognising that alongside justice is understanding that the line between victim and perpetrator is often very blurred.

“Without the recognition and treatment for those suffering with emotional trauma the spiral of violence will continue.

“We need to address the fears our young people face before it’s too late.”

The end of the programme also acknowledged how the Government had announced in its Spring budget for £100 million to be used for police funding to tackle the problem of knife crime.

An official synopsis for the programme reads: “Knife crime is surging across the UK. In 1993 Duwayne Brooks was waiting at a bus stop in Eltham with his friend Stephen Lawrence when they were attacked by a racist gang and Stephen was brutally stabbed to death.

“Witnessing Stephen’s murder left Duwayne severely traumatised. Still deeply affected 25 years on, he wants to take viewers on a personal journey into the current wave of knife crime and the impact it is having across the nation.

“He meets victims’ families and friends as they cope with the aftermath of a loved one being killed and the ensuing fight for justice.

“He engages with the perpetrators to understand what is making more and more young people turn to knives, and he explores what is being done to stem the violence.

“Along the way, he revisits his own past, facing up to the trauma that has come to define him.

“As the death toll rises each month, the film becomes a powerful account of a most deadly year – an intimate and revealing look at one of the biggest challenges facing the country.”

Stabbed: Britain’s Knife Crime Crisis is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
