Episode 6: The Bedside Murders
Sunday 26 June 8:00 PM
In November 2011, one of Australia’s worst mass murders happened in a quiet suburban nursing home. A drug addicted male nurse who had been caught stealing prescription drugs meant for the elderly people in his care, decided the best way to ‘destroy the evidence’ was to burn the nursing home down in the middle of the night. Frail residents were trapped, many couldn’t move because of their ailments and died in their beds. It was a shocking sight for the first responders as everyone, including neighbours, rushed to get as many of the elderly residents out before the fire engulfed the entire building.
The eight-part series has now been acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery in the UK, AMC Networks International for Spain and Portugal, SBS in Belgium and TVNZ.
Produced by WTFN, and with a second series already in production for delivery in Spring 2023, Code 1: Minute by Minute breaks down the hours, minutes, and seconds of the biggest and most tragic recent news events to impact Australia and profiles the people from all walks of life who will forever be connected, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Second season confirmed for 2023.

That’s fantastic. I love this show, and check regularly for new episodes (and am almost always disappointed).
But are we ever getting the last three episodes of season 1? Do we even know what they’re about?
Yes the series is back next week.
Episode 3: The City Killer
Wednesday 2 November 8:40 PM
On August 13, 2019 computer engineer Mert Ney went on a rampage in Sydney’s CBD. He stabbed to death 24-year-old escort Michaela Dunn, and in the streets a passer-by in the back. Ney’s captured jumping on a car and waving a knife with blood on his jumper. Bystanders run for their lives. A Channel 7 cameraman and journo just happened to be there. They chase after the 20-year-old despite him yelling “Allahu Akbar” and wearing a satchel bag shouting “I’ve got f***ing bombs.” Office workers also joined the chase stopping him with a café chair and a milk crate.
Not watching the previous handful of episodes of this show over the last year, i decided to watch the show last week (titled ‘The City Killer’) . I thought the way it was shot and made was good.
A shame that its been shown as a filler on Seven though.

Episode 5: The Air Show Disaster
Wednesday 23 November 7:30 Pm
On 27 January 2017, a father of three and his girlfriend died when their seaplane crashed into Perth’s Swan River in front of 60,000 spectators. It happened on Australia Day during an air show, ahead of the city’s annual fireworks display.
Families watched in horror as the 1948 flying boat banked sharply before nose-diving into the water and breaking into pieces. They lined the water’s edge in silence as police, marine rescuers and up to 10 civilian boats and jet skis rushed to the wreckage. But nothing could be done to save pilot 52-year-old Peter Lynch and his Indonesian girlfriend Endah Cakrawati. The crash was captured on multiple mobile phones by witnesses. Endah posted videos on social media from inside the plane before and during flight. She appears in high spirits, smiling from ear to ear, and wishes her followers a “Happy Australia Day.”

Absolutely, I don’t think there’s been more underappreciated show in recent years.
Glad we get season 2, not so glad it’ll probably take another year to air from the first to last episode.

Code 1: The Essendon Plane Crash
Thursday 2 March 8:30PM
In February 2017 a group of golfers chartered a small aircraft to fly them from Melbourne to nearby King Island. 10 seconds after take off the plane exploded into a popular shopping centre.
On 21 February 2017 a Beechcraft B200 King Air aircraft operating a charter flight, carrying a pilot and four passengers bound for King Island crashed, just 10 seconds after taking off from Essendon Airport in Melbourne, Australia. The pilot made mayday calls before the aircraft clipped the roof of the Essendon Direct Factory Outlets (DFO) building, which had not yet begun the day’s trading, and then smashed into the ground a few metres away and burst into flames. It was the worst civil aviation accident in Victoria in 30 years.
Media Spy had a dedicated topic on this at the time.
