The show follows hard-working crime scene cleaning companies in Britain and the USA that help people get their lives back to normal after the most traumatic events imaginable.
In the latest episode, a tense moment saw a US policeman collapse after being exposed to airborne fentanyl from a car.
According to the NHS, fentanyl is a strong opoid painkiller which is used to treat severe pain.
A colleague held onto the affected officer, telling him: "I've got you, okay. I'm not going to let you die."

As medical assistance arrived on the scene, they called for a medication known as Narcan.
The show's voiceover explained: "Narcan - a life-saving drug - rapidly reverses fentanyl overdoses."
Forensic scientist Dr. Amy Santoro, said on-screen: "Most police officers in the United States carry Narcan.
"If you start to overdose on fentanyl, we'll deliver a dose of Narcan that will help to kick the fentanyl out of your receptors and allow you to start breathing again."

Foods that could boost your child's attention span at school

There are some nutrients which stand out as being particularly important for a child's attention at school - and the good news is that they can be found in everyday foods Diet can significantly influence your child's academic performance at school. Therefore, it's important they're eating the right foods. The British Dietetic Association (BDA) emphasises that children require a range of nutrients to support their brain function and learning capacity. A proper intake of nutrients can only be achieved by eating a balanced diet full of various healthy foods. ‌ However, certain nutrients are particularly crucial for maintaining a child's focus in school. Let's look at some of the main ones. ‌ The importance of vitamin D and omega-3 Both vitamin D and omega-3 have been identified as having a substantial impact on a child's mood and their ability to concentrate in an educational environment. A controlled clinical trial involving 50 children with ADHD discovered that those with higher vitamin D levels exhibited significantly improved attention compared to those with lower levels. The same study concluded that vitamin D could enhance cognitive function in children with ADHD. Similarly, a study examining the role of omega-3 in a child's attention found that it could boost cognitive performance in children and adolescents, while a deficiency could lead to reduced attention levels. Full list of foods that could impr If you're worried about your child's attention span, consider incorporating more foods rich in vitamin D or omega-3 into their diet. Common sources of these nutrients can include readily available fatty fish, as well as certain vegetables, seeds, and nuts. ‌ While red meat can provide valuable nutrition, it's generally advised to consume it in moderation due to its high levels of saturated fat and salt. Some foods you could introduce into your child's diet include: Salmon Tuna Mackerel Sardines Eggs Mushrooms Fortified cereals and milk Flaxseed Chia seeds Soybeans Walnuts Canola Oil Spinach Brussels sprouts The NHS also suggests that children should aim for at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables each day to ensure they're receiving an adequate amount of minerals, vitamins, and fibre. If you have concerns about your child's attention span or diet, it's recommended to consult with your GP before making any significant dietary changes.

Horrific moment policeman collapses on camera after accidentally inhaling lethal drug while filming crime scene documentary - as terrified colleagues rush to help

Footage of a policeman collapsing on camera after accidentally inhaling a lethal drug while filming Channel 4 's Crime Scene Cleaners aired on Monday night. The programme gives an insight into what those who clean-up crime scenes get up to in the UK and USA. The first instalment of the season hit our screens yesterday (30 June 2025) and highlighted that there has become a rise in concern over air born fentanyl. 'Fentanyl is a strong opioid painkiller. It's used to treat severe pain, for example during or after an operation or a serious injury, or pain from cancer,' the NHS states. The voice over told viewers: 'Across the US, officers have been overcome by air born fentanyl... A deadly risk that turns even a simple traffic stop into a life threatening situation.' A clip of an office then played out as he fell to the ground. 'More likely than not in that situation, they started to rummage through the things in the car, the fentanyl aerosolised, meaning it got into the air and they breathed it in, and that was what caused their overdose in those videos,' a medical expert explained. The first instalment of the season hit our screens yesterday (30 June 2025) and highlighted that there has become a rise in concern over air born fentanyl They then played the next bit of the clip, which saw the officer's colleague holding him, while another said: 'I've got you, okay? I'm not going to let you die.' Another colleague then ran over to the officer on the ground, with someone else shouting out loud: 'I need a Narcan!' The voice over explained: 'Narcan is a life-saving drug rapidly reversing fentanyl overdoses.' Footage of the cop's colleagues giving him the drug played out. A forensic scientist guest appearing on the show explained: 'Most police officers in the United States carry Narcan, if you start to overdose on fentanyl, we'll deliver a dose of Narcan that will help to kick the fentanyl out of the receptors and allow you to start breathing again.' Another guest described the drug as an 'invisible killer'. They later headed over to Baton Rouge in Louisiana, USA , where 289 fatal drug overdoses, 89% included fentanyl. CEO of Xtreme Cleaners, Larry Douglas, cleans up crime scenes, alongside team leader Morgan Phillips. They were called to clean up a fentanyl contaminated car with a bullet hole in the front wind shield. Larry explained: 'This car was stolen from a car rental place. Fentanyl detected by law enforcement. The police wrote "Do not enter".' Retired police sergeant of the LA police department, Robert Grant III, spoke about his experience with it and what he thought about the car. He said: 'Dope, money and guns. 'That's one thing you are always going to find around fentanyl and all drugs. 'So I am not surprised that there is a bullet hole in it. 'The larger gangs that are in the area, they're selling a lot of fentanyl. 'Most likely a hand gun, that was fired into that wind shield.' They then showed the team gearing up to clean the car, including a newbie to the team Kelly Wright. They sprayed destroying solution all over the vehicle to make sure there was no trace anywhere in it, to make sure the next person to use it is safe. The spray is let sit for 30 minutes and then replaced the air filter and then completed a surface clean, which is then repeated a number of times.

Keir Starmer promised to fix the NHS. A year on, has he succeeded?

R ecord-high waiting lists, overflowing A&E departments and a general dissatisfaction with the state of the NHS were some of the key reasons Labour was returned to power last year. Sir Keir Starmer promised to 'build an NHS fit for the future', pledging more appointments, staff and medical equipment. The service recently received a 2.7 per cent annual boost in the spending review, at the expense of other departments. But one year in, has Labour managed to turn things around? Between now and the next election, using the latest NHS data, The Times will track whether Labour is meeting its goals on healthcare, and whether the NHS really is improving.
