Here we go… cue the scary music as Channel 4 has dropped a cheeky little update on our favourite documentary.

The multi-award winning series – following Bedfordshire Police officers as they track down wrong’uns – is back.

But when is it airing, I hear you cry. When will we hear “no comment, no comment, no comment” to a rozzer reply of “still haven’t asked you a question yet” (best episode).

Well, social media went into a mild frenzy over the weekend when Channel 4 Documentaries teased this little nugget.

The page shared a picture of its to-do list which went as follows:

1) Apologise to the legal team (again)

2) Collect rain coat from lost property

3) Leak details of new 24 Hours in Police Custody

4) Find out why our office pass doesn't work anymore

The only trouble is, that’s all the documentaries team would divulge, leaving excited viewers taking to Facebook.

One wrote: “Ooooh, new ‘24 hours’? Can't wait.” While another added: “24 Hours in Police Custody is the best thing on C4, but can anyone help me understand why they're not weekly, & just randomly appear? No 'season', just every now & again a new one's there.”

Another fan penned: “Love a bit of Police Custard!”

While a 4th wrote: “Yes more 24 hours coming up. One of the best programmes on TV bar none!”

Even Bedfordshire Police were tight-lipped when we approached them.

We cannot wait… watch this space for updates – and in the meantime, you can still stream old episode of 24 Hours in Police Custody on Channel 4 online.
