Paul Gascoigne won't appear in ITV's The Hunt for Raoul Moat, despite the footballer turning up at the scene of the killer's final stand-off quickly becoming headline news 13 years ago. And the the show's producer says the decision was taken not to feature Gazza, because his appearance had 'nothing to do' with the story they're trying to tell.
After shooting dead ex Samantha Stobbart's new boyfriend Christopher Brown in Birtley, Moat shot and blinded PC David Rathband on the outskirts of Newcastle, before heading up to Northumberland.
The man hunt for former Newcastle doorman Moat became huge news in the region and further beyond, with the gunman even making threats to the wider public after becoming incensed by some of the coverage about him in national newspapers.
