Disgusted TV viewers took to Twitter after being 'sickened' by a scene in the second episode of The Hunt for Raoul Moat, which saw revellers in a Newcastle pub show their support for the fugitive killer.
Millions tuned into watch the launch of the three part series on Sunday night, almost 13 years after former doorman Moat killed ex Samantha Stobbart's new boyfriend Christopher Brown in Birtley. Having declared war on Northumbria Police and threatening to 'go after' officers, Moat then shot and blinded PC David Rathband, as he sat in a patrol car on the outskirts of the city.
From there, Moat headed north to Northumberland, robbing a chip shop in Seaton Delaval, before setting up camp in Rothbury, as his accomplices were caught and taken in by police. The week long search for Moat came to an end when the gunman shot himself, dying from his injuries.
