Netflix's crime drama "Adolescence" is making headlines for its hour-long, one-shot episodes. However, two decades earlier, the Indian TV show "CID" set a Guinness World Record with a 111-minute single-take episode titled "Inheritance", aired on Sony TV on November 7, 2004.

It featured core cast members Shivaji Satam, Aditya Srivastav, Dayanand Shetty, and others, with guest stars like Kay Kay Menon.
