Netflix launches new 8-part documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

That's an awfully wide time span. Are those figures correct?

It even says that in the Portuguese piece.Wonder if it should be 5:25 to 18:00,using 12hr and 24 hr speak.

Whatever was meant we don't have what we need to see; Cat Baker saying that Kate McCann came to collect Madeleine from the Tapas area at 5.30 or 17.30.

That is rather ridiculous where the two times are mentioned in different units.  (If it was supposed to be 5:30 to 6:00 PM  it should have been 17h.30 to 18h.00.    What is the correct way of writing the 24 hour clock times?

"This method of keeping time is most commonly used by the military, government, public transportation, hospitals, meteorologists, astronomers, those employed in emergency services, and also with computers. When speaking in military time, 07:00 may be stated as “zero seven hundred” or “oh seven hundred”. Also, in the military, these time stamps are often written without the colon, so 07:52 would rather be written 0752." 

So there is no need to put an "H" or colon in the time.

1730 to 1800  will those numbers be recognised as times?

Would depend on the context. Historians might view them to be dates.

It is hard not to say "hours"  or if oner is talking about years say in the year 1800 AD to be precise.

What I was trying to work out where to put the "H" for up to now I had written it as 17.30h  rather than 17h30 as they did in the PJ files.
E.g. "It was around 15h25/18h00."

5.30 = 17.30 isn't it?

[Eleanor]

5.30 = 17.30 isn't it?

I don't know.  Some people don't seem to think so.  I mentioned this several page ago but no one was interested.

That's the time that Kate signed the creche sheet. In Cat Baker's rog, however, she says Kate went to collect Madeleine around 15.25/18.00. That's 3.25 and 6 o'clock, which makes no sense. .

Statements are taken verbally and then written down by the interviewer.  Errors happen  if times are said in the 12 hour clock and converted and written to the 24 hour clock, especially by people like myself you don't use the 24 hour clock often

The 24 Hour clock is no mystery to me.  Ex Navy and living in France where they use it all of the time.  So I don't understand what the bother is all about.

You might not but others do.

Then it's time they sorted out the 24 Hour Clock.  This time thing has been going on for nigh on 12 years.
