As the show gets everyone talking, Matt Stokoe has revealed that he never expected to be given the lead role in The Hunt for Raoul Moat, having originally expressed an interest in playing a much smaller part in the true crime drama.
After weeks of build up and the trailer for the true crime mini series being on heavy rotation, The Hunt for Raoul Moat made its debut on ITV at 9pm on Sunday, kicking off its three night takeover of the primetime slot.
The three part drama revisits the events of July 2010 when, just days after his release from prison, former Newcastle doorman Moat headed to ex Samantha Stobbart's home and shot dead her new boyfriend Christopher Brown, before also firing at Samantha.
