The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

Personally I think it sounds like “oop there” but I’m not entirely sure that any of this is particularly important.

I agree Vertigo Swirl but you asked me.      All I am trying to say is I believe the mobile phone had audio as well as video capability and that the audio was originally released with the video.   The audio would then be removed when it became clear what Gerry was saying.  I may be new to the case but I can read and I have read of several instances when things have been "whooshed" after their publication

Personally and fwiw I think Gerry says “eff off”and that the audio is genuine, but I don’t really think it’s remotely important or interesting.

Do you have a view as to why it was released in the first place ?

Thank you for agreeing that the audio was genuine and yes I too wonder why it is important.  It was simply made important though by the succession of McCann supporters on here denying that the audio was genuine and had been added by someone later.

I think the most pertinent part of VS's post says ... "I don’t really think it’s remotely important or interesting."  Which is a sentiment with which I agree wholeheartedly.

So have you changed your mind that the soundtrack was added later ?

Please do not restart this silliness of you putting words in my mouth. Such a misleading practice is firmly against forum rules.

It was a question. You earlier suggested that the soundtrack may have been added later. Have the cites posted subsequently changed your mind ?

Obviously since this is of some importance to you ... NB: I have not retracted a single word I have posted on this thread ...

And this from the Yorkshire Post doesn’t convince you that the sound was always there ?

‘Mr McCann is looking serious, which prompts his friend to joke: “Cheer up Gerry, we are on holiday.” Laughter is heard throughout the rest of the clip.’

Because it featured recent moving images of Madeleine?

Possible, but they weren't very good quality images so not clear to me what real purpose they could serve.

It even explains why David said 'Hang on, I think we're on video'.

The film was captured after their friend tried to take a photograph, but ended up recording the group as they were driven the short distance to the terminal.

Their value was presumably in that they were the last taken moving imagesof the missing child, I can see nothing mysterious or sinister in it.

The only mysterious thing I can think about is why some McCann supporting members here have been insisting there is no audio simply because Gerry appears to swear on the video.
