Police Investigate Group Brawl In Newcastle City Centre | Geordie Coppers

4 Crime brought in about 822,000 views across its library, a substantial week among nearby true-crime channels. Criminally Obsessed and Cold Trace had larger viewing weeks, while Crimes of Passion was quieter. Subscribers edged upward too, with roughly a thousand added.

The clips channel's most watched new upload was "Police Investigate Group Brawl In Newcastle City Centre | Geordie Coppers". This Channel 4 episode follows Newcastle's neighborhood police teams and their partners, moving from a brawl captured on CCTV to PC Sherrie dealing with a drunk, abusive man. Ranger John's support for a member of the street community gives the episode another side of the job. Beneath the upload, viewers discuss sentencing and bail decisions, while others ask for more of Ranger John.

The other uploads move from patrol work into investigations and the courts. "Man Convicted Of Killing His Pregnant Wife Claims Innocence | The Accused: Beyond Reasonable Doubt?" examines Eddie Gilfoyle's conviction for murdering his pregnant wife, Paula, and his efforts to overturn it. The episode revisits the trial, imprisonment and appeals.

The newest addition, "How Police Identified Double Murder Suspects | 24 Hours In Police Custody — How They Were Caught", concerns two men murdered outside a pub and another left fighting for his life. Its description centers on investigators' concern that witnesses in a tight-knit community may not come forward. Although Geordie Coppers has the largest total audience of the week's uploads, this latest investigation is now drawing the most daily views on 4 Crime.
