BBC Showtrial's graphic comeback sparks viewer complaints despite prior warnings

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Showtrial returned to BBC with a shockingly grisly scene that left viewers complaining, despite a clear prior warning provided by the channel.

As the programme began, the BBC prepared viewers for what was to come with an announcement stating: "Cranking up the tension on BBC One now with very strong language and scenes which some of you may find upsetting, as a brand new case is brought to trial.

Press red now to watch in Ultra HD on BBC iPlayer." Shortly after the warning, the audience witnessed a heart-thumping chase where a cyclist desperately tried to outrun a pursuing car.

The tense sequence escalated until the car struck the cyclist, catapulting him over the bonnet and onto the street with horrifying force.
