Tonight's TV is all about the darker side of human nature. Channel 4 kicks off its new run of '999', a series that delves into the most complex and twisted crimes. The show's latest episode takes us to Suffolk, where a man fatally stabs a suspected thief outside his house, and Hertfordshire, where a car belonging to a woman reported for drug dealing is found on fire. As police investigate both cases, they uncover a web of lies, stalking, and a lead that points back to someone under a protection order.
Meanwhile, ITV1 presents 'Killer in the House: The Murders of Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan', a documentary that tells the shocking story of two murders in Northern Ireland. For the first time, the show includes interviews with the victims' children, who grew up believing their mother had taken her own life. But the truth is much darker.
The investigation into serial paedophile Carson Grimes continues on Channel 4's '24 Hours in Police Custody'. After a flood of new accusations, officers launch a fresh inquiry and are inundated with tales of previous victims. They also make a disturbing discovery of bones near his old home, adding to the sense of unease.
If you're looking for something lighter, U&Alibi offers the season finale of 'Dark Winds', a 70s-set Navajo cop drama. The NTP's train station stakeout may finally yield results, but not before Joe and Gordo have a heart-to-heart moment from their hiding spot.
Later, Tom Davis hosts another episode of 'Live at the Apollo' on BBC Two. This time around, he introduces rising star Kae Kurd and Newcastle standup Louise Young. There's also comedy gold to be found in 'Things You Should Have Done' on BBC Three, as Bridget Christie joins Lucia Keskin in a dodgy therapist's office.
The evening wraps up with more laughs at the Hammersmith Apollo, but that's about all you can say for now – it's been a day of darkness and intrigue.

I don't know how they keep investigating crimes like that without getting emotional trauma themselves... these shows are always good but sometimes feel super triggering 
I'm bookmarking "999" tho, gotta see more about the protection order lead 
. Can't we just have some lighthearted entertainment for once? I mean, I'm all for keeping people informed, but do we really need to relive every heinous crime on TV? It's getting old and it's starting to desensitize us as a society 
. And don't even get me started on the constant stream of "shocking" revelations 
.
It's wild to think how often we hear about the darker side of human nature on our screens, isn't it? Like, we're constantly being fed these stories of violence and trauma, but do we ever stop to consider why that is? Is it just because of the sensationalism of it all? Or are we really exposing a collective fascination with the morbid, like some twisted form of schadenfreude? 
I'm tellin' ya, tonight's TV is just gettin' darker by the minute! All these crime documentaries are really gettin' under my skin 
.
. 'Dark Winds' is still goin' strong, and that train station stakeout's got my attention 
. And who doesn't love a good laugh? Tom Davis' 'Live at the Apollo' always brings the funny 
. But seriously, can we please just have a light-hearted show or two to balance it all out? My brain's startin' to feel like it's stuck in the dark ages 
. It's like we're fascinated by the twisted stuff but never really care about helping them, ya know? 
, I had to miss my friend's birthday party because we were both binge-watching '24 Hours in Police Custody' last night... I mean, I get it, Carson Grimes is a total creep and all but can't we talk about something else for once? 
I don't know if it's because I've been reading all these true crime books during lunch or what, but I just can't get enough of that stuff.
. I mean, don't get me wrong, these stories are horrific and should never be taken lightly, but there's just something about them that fascinates us. Maybe it's the sense of justice being served, or maybe it's just our natural curiosity about what makes people tick.
. But at the same time, there's a part of us that wants to know more, even when it feels like we shouldn't be looking. It's almost like our brains are trying to process the information and make sense of what's happening, even if it doesn't add up.
. We know they're not always easy to watch, but at the same time, we can't help ourselves from tuning in to see what happens next. And yeah, it's definitely been a day of darkness and intrigue out there tonight 
. I remember watching 999 back in the day and it was more about the law enforcement side, not all this complicated human nature stuff. Now it's like they're airing out all the darkest secrets and scandals. And serial killers, ugh... Carson Grimes still gives me the heebie-jeebies to this day 
.
. It was so much fun watching Joe and Gordo trying to solve cases in those olden days. And Tom Davis on Live at the Apollo is always good for a laugh 
'999' is literally the ultimate thriller, always keeping me on the edge of my seat! I love how they unravel the twisted cases & expose the truth. And OMG, those interviews with Lesley Howell's kids in 'Killer in the House' are giving me ALL the feels 
Carson Grimes' case is also super disturbing, I mean who can believe this guy was a serial paedophile?! Ugh! But then there's something lighter like 'Dark Winds', it's just so calming after all that drama 
. Anyway, gotta wrap up for tonight 
.
. how do people even manage to hide that stuff? and what's even more disturbing is that there are still ppl out there who think they can get away with this kinda thing 
.
. like, how hard can it be to tell the truth, right? 
it's like they say, the truth is always stranger than fiction. and can we talk about the documentary on ITV1 'Killer in the House'? those victim's kids sharing their stories is just heartbreaking 
, I'm so glad they're finally getting the justice they deserve. but also, how dark is too dark? some of these shows are just a little too real for my comfort 
thinkin bout watchin somethin lighter like that navajo cop drama 'Dark Winds' heard its super good 
.
. Like, have you seen the old British comedies from back in the day? "Fawlty Towers" or "Only Fools and Horses"? Now those were some good laugh-out-loud moments
