24 Hours in A&E (2011) : 14x3

This shocking episode follows three middle-aged women who are stabbed in broad daylight in a random attack at a supermarket car park in Surrey. Jean, who's 67, had gone to Sainsbury's to get macaroni cheese for her grandson and was stabbed in the back while carrying shopping to her car. Doctors are worried that the wound may have hit a vital organ or a major vessel and she's sent for urgent CT scans. Meanwhile, her daughter Clair recalls growing up in a pub in Fulham where her mum was the landlady: 'I remember a couple of guys came in with machetes yelling and shouting and she gave them a jolly good talking to... she's always been feisty... she can throw someone on the floor if she needs to'. Rani, who's 71, was stabbed twice in the back while waiting for a bus.
