Jim Gordon is back on the beat in Gotham tonight and investigates the death of a witness inside the station house – and quickly realizes that it’s an inside job. When no one on the force can help him, he turns to Oswald for help. Meanwhile, Oswald shows his mother his new club, and Bruce returns from Switzerland and seeks out Selina.

“Welcome Back, Jim Gordon” airs on Channel 5 in the UK on Monday 23rd March 2015 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.
