Compared to the drivel on Tv ...I'ts quite a good drama

Or to put in another way this rubbish is better than the other rubbish.
Personally I would rather see a Richard Burton movie at least that has class.

oh and so did the Mirror

Part two certainly seems to be keeping up the high standard set in episode one with the characterisation beginning to take shape.  Please don’t let my favourite actor Ken Stott be a baddie!!

Well it got 5 stars in the Times for a start.

Amusing to see the reactions to a television drama ... mildly interesting too.

Richard Burton movies have class...that's a bit like saying "Phantom" is your favourite opera

[Alice Purjorick]

So a piece of fictitious drama is/is not critically acclaimed.
Now please will one of the self proclaimed intelligentsia explain to me a mere fool and troll ( I know I am both coz Alf and Davel say so) what this has to to with the McCann case?

Erm...whose opinion do you value then, come on cite the publications whose opinion you value above the Times and the Telegraph then.

My favourite opera is Madame Butterfly; matelot on foreign shore promises undying love to oriental bird to get his leg over bird is up duff (Pinkerton you are gone six months and I am six months gone). Matelot returns with filthy rich wife takes child oriental bird tops herself; the end (after much singing and prancing),I never could figure out why the hand maiden was a motorbike though.
Carmen anyone? Sharon and Tracey at the Rothman's fag factory in Basildon with sundry Southend cop villains and few squaddies from Colchester barracks.
Nuffin like a nice bit o' Bizzitt.

when James Nebitt's character turns out to have dunnit, the "sceptics" will be heralding this as the greatest work of art since the Battleship Potemkin, you mark my words...

It seems 'the McCanns and the BBC 'in the same sentence creates equal, but opposite, entrenched positions in both camps.

I missed the first twenty minutes of tonights episode but will see it later on iPlayer.  I notice the blame the parents theme has now emerged which if I'm honest made me very uncomfortable.
 
Without doubt this piece of fiction is based very closely on the McCann experience.

I think I asked the question, all you could muster were critical acclaim from gutter press, again the question stands, can you quote a credible cite from a non paid MSM source ?
Bet you can't !!!

Can you quantify "blame the parents" please ?
