Don't worry, not contentious, anybody watching this on the BBC? And if so, apart from the acting 👍 shouting out the names of the cars in the scenes 😁

Not a chance. That evil creep should burn you-know-where. What surprises me most is the gullibility of those he conned. Some in highly privileged places too.

TV these days! Raking about in the sh** of society to boost their viewing figures. I want to be entertained, not shocked or preached to. I wish that the tv had a visual mute aswell as an audio one, for the adverts.

And what possible good does it do except perhaps to put the Sh-ts up the many others in that world who escaped detection. Chris.S.

Agreed,be very selective about what you watch if you don't want to take onboard all that negativity.Particularly the news.

It is worth noting he fooled a lot of people, not just the high and mighty, but ordinary people too! A lot of people also suffered from or spotted his crimes but weren't listened to because he hid behind the facade he'd created, and people wanted to believe he cared enough to spend a great deal of time and effort raising money for good causes, when it was mostly self promotion etc.

Yes, John Lydon (Rotten) Called it correctly in the 70s and was quickly silenced by the bbc, the interview is still available on you tube.

Did we learn? "50" years later we had doctors silenced over concerns of Lucy Letby.
