In episode three of The People v OJ Simpson, viewers were shocked as the real 911 calls made by Nicole Brown Simpson were used by the show.

The calls, recorded by US law enforcement, were made just minutes before Nicole’s death in 1994 and including dialogue such as: "He's OJ Simpson. I think you know his record. Could you just send somebody over. He just drove up again. Could you just send somebody over here?”

Viewers aired their shock at the “chilling” tapes on Twitter, with one user writing “Shivers hearing Nicole 999 call.”

The People v OJ Simpson follows the story of OJ’s trial for the murder of Nicole, something he was not found guilty of. The series is, however, not a documentary and is made by the same people behind American Horror Story.

The show has been highly rated by critics, with a second series already in development. It is currently showing on BBC2 every Tuesday at 9pm. Here's everything you need to know about the series.
