Next Episode
Killing Mum and DadThe broadcast titled is presented as a programme in the form of a single episode. It is listed under the genre “episode,” indicating a self‑contained narrative rather than a serial series. The format focuses on a specific incident involving the central character, Daniel Dighton, and is structured to convey the events in a concise, stand‑alone manner. The episode centres on Daniel Dighton, who ends up stabbing his mother and father to death. The motive presented is their criticism of his idle behaviour; after being reprimanded for what they perceive as a lack of purpose, he reacts with lethal violence. In the aftermath, Dighton attempts to explain his actions by attributing them to a hangover, suggesting that his impaired state at the time was the cause of the murders. The programme depicts the sequence of criticism, the fatal stabbing, and the subsequent claim of intoxication. By juxtaposing the parental reproach with the extreme response and the implausible excuse, the episode outlines a stark chain of events without offering additional context or commentary. All elements shown—Daniel’s idle conduct, the parental admonishment, the stabbing, and the hangover defence—are drawn directly from the source material, keeping the summary strictly confined to the facts presented.
