There’s also a true crime documentary on ITV1at 9pm.

If that was the Bunny Girl murders, I didn't think much of it.

Very strange style.

Did watch tonight’s one first time around but watched it again tonight.
It’s easy to live a ‘normal’ life and not have anything to do with the people featured but it really is a view of how destructive drugs and addiction are, literally turning people into zombies. Felt for both the victim and offender in this one.

Quite a depressing episode really.. the prosecution felt a bit vindictive in some ways. At least she completed a rehab course in prison.

Watched this as well. I'm not that bothered though about these self detected investigations they do years after the original offences. They don't have access to the original case notes or evidence (or not to the level that the Police would have) and they just seem to make a programme of talking to people then coming to their own conclusions.
It was interesting but nothing more really.

Not sure I agree. Would you feel the same way if the victim was a relative of yours? The job of the Police is to investigate potential offences and submit a file to the CPS and the Courts. It's not their job to be emotive as to whether the offender should be prosecuted or not.

Obstructing the coroner is a pretty serious offence.

I thought I had seen it before.

It's all so pathetic and pointless, isn't it? From people ferrying dead bodies around on a mobility scooter to the state of that flat to how much is all this costing me?

Heads Up! New episode (I think) Sunday 3rd Dec 9PM Channel 4.

Feature length episode - “The siege” telling the inside story of an armed siege in a Bedford tower block.

Thank you, I wondered when new stuff would filter through.

Cheers .

It's a 95 minute special - just put it on record.

Watching.

[Its Just Adz]

In.
I hope that white staffy is OK.

[BertyFish]

Is this definitely a new one, I’m sure I’ve seen something similar before.

[Charlie1986]

This is a new one

[covmutley]

All a bit sad really.

I reckon the guy who was asleep is actually quite bright, to some extent. Mental health is a nightmare.

[abzmike]

Yes, as much a mental health issue as a criminal one. But just look at the amount of resources needed to deal with him.
