Later, Gordon is confronted by past decisions in Gotham – ‘Spirit of the Goat’ – which airs on Channel 5 on Monday 17th November at 9.00pm.

Gotham, which airs on FOX in the US, tells the origin story behind James Gordon’s rise to prominence in the notorious Gotham City… and the origins of Batman and many villains, too.
