THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT is a British drama series based on a real murder case; in this episode, the case comes to court as the victims' families face new revelations about what happened to their loved ones.
threat and horror
Flashback scenes which build up to an unseen murder contain moments of moderate threat as a man watches his older victim struggling to stand and breathe while intoxicated. We hear that a man fantasised about killing another with a hammer.
language
There is strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms which include 'bloody', 'shit', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'. There is use of the discriminatory term 'faggot'.
sex
It is claimed that a man used the internet to satisfy his sexual fantasy life. There are undetailed verbal references to sexual relationships a man entered into by behaving in a manipulative way toward older men and women, and to a man taking 'intimate pictures' of a woman.
additional issues
We hear that a man drugged several elderly people to keep them under his control. Characters drink alcohol and are seen becoming drunk. There are scenes of emotional upset as people hear accounts of their loved ones being taken advantage of or murdered.
