I watched the whole thing (but then I am bed bound currently with nothing else to do) and didn't think it was THAT bad, but I did grow weary of Poulton's voice over.  It seemed to me she had wanted to be bolder and say more controversial things but lots got lost or overdubbed in the editing stage.  Bottled it basically.

I went back to it and followed it through to the end and my opinion is that it is seriously flawed both in quality and content.

The visuals didn't upset me too much probably because post Blair Witch one has learned to cope ... but agree regarding the audio track which was appallingly bad and on occasion just emphasised the amateurish approach from start to finish of the whole.

In my opinion no professional broadcaster would entertain this seriously and if she had a modicum of street cred anywhere previously I would imagine she has seriously damaged it with this effort at production.

I have watched better quality and better edited filming from war zones where the reporter was under fire which were probably more accurate than this was ... then all they were doing was dodging live bullets ... she was trying to stick to a sceptic script which was tedious with misrepresentation and repetition.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

Posters are warned that this goading and nitpicking must cease otherwise I will suspend accounts.

Please take heed.

I found her obviously one sided in the way she went about her documentary.   Why bring the charity race for Missing People into it?   Kate reached her goal,   no one would be expected to raise £30,000 for a charity run, yet Sonia brought that in and said Kate was twenty thousand down on what the  appeal for Amaral had achieved.  Pure cattiness and I really don't like that sort of thing.

As to the windows being cleaned the day before in the apartment,  I think she should have checked if they had been,  can't see that happening in the middle of a weeks holiday,  going by my own stays in apartments.

All my own opinion.

Sentencing has yet to be done.  In animals switching offspring at birth happens all the time.  I'd be surprised if the sentence is severe.

Maybe they don't have the same feelings of possessiveness that humans do.

We've got hens and one mother had 8 chicks and the other never hatched any.  The one with 8 won't let the other hen any where near her chicks.  There certainly is no police force trying to sort it out.

Mallards tend to get their broods mixed up when two mothers pass on the water and the ducklings follow the wrong mother.

LOL Mr Jinx    update on this horror story is: the people behind this started up a similar company before closing CA.  so they are still going to do what they did under a different name!  He may still have a newer newish Job.
