BBC2 series Hospital was filming in St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, when sick Masood launched his attack on March 22 - killing five people.

Now viewers will see him rushed into the Accident and Emergency department flanked by two armed officers with machine guns.
He was the first casualty of all of those involved in the incident to arrive at the hospital and is seen being wheeled into the hospital on a trolley partially dressed.
But Masood, who mowed innocent pedestrians down on Westminster bridge before stabbing a police officer outside the Houses of Parliament, is soon declared dead.

A doctor informs medical staff he is “RIP” before telling the armed officers to guard his dead body in a makeshift mortuary.
They then begin work on other victims of the incident who arrive soon after.

Among them were French students Yann, 18, and Victor, 16, who were on the final day of a trip to London from Brittany, France.
Yann had to have his scalp sewn back together after being hit by Masood’s vehicle - while Victor suffered a collapsed lung.
Yann said: "I felt scared, very scared. I didn’t know what was going to happen or if I was going to die. I thought of my mum."

Brit victim Stephen, who was celebrating his 40th birthday, had to have emergency surgery to save his leg.
The entire attack - which injured more than 50 people - lasted 82 seconds from start to finish.
Simon Dickson of programme maker Label1, said of the decision to include the attacker: "He's part of the story, and his appearance in the film is as you see it.

"It's brief, but his arrival is a key part of the day, and that is fully reflected in the way that scene is handled."
Masood's family were not consulted about showing him, and his face is blurred out in the footage.

BBC Two controller Patrick Holland said: "The decision was made to treat him in exactly the same way, from the point of view of the hospital.
"That's where we're seeing him, that's where the audience is being allowed to see this incident unfold, he's the first casualty that comes to the hospital and we followed the same protocol that we do with any other patient which is that if they don't consent, you blur them."
