White House Farm .

The 1986 multiple murders by Jeremy Bamber of members of his family in which he tried to blame his schizophrenic sister Sheila Caffell

Dragged out over 6 episodes when probably three or four would have done the job.

Have to say I do vaguely remember this but I always believed he was such an arrogant bastard (who tried to sell topless photos of his sister to The S*n surprise surprise) that it was a cut and dried conviction after the police had finally got their act together .

But when you actually look deeper he probably did do it but he was basically convicted as there was no forensic evidence a month after the murders by his jilted girlfriend Julie Mugford's testimony . and on a majority decision .

It just seems strange that they've never allowed him an appeal on what was basically his word against hers

[SasaS]

So, what, Yellowstone's not that bad after all? Been pussyfooting around it, I want it, but reviews  kept saying it was shit. Was it the Costner effect, that made them hate it?

I think it was also the illogicality of the other option with the sister killing her own kids , beating the dad up when she was very frail, reloading the rifle twice in amongst the mayhem  & also the jiggery-pokery with the silencer. I do agree that the police were shocking in immediately accepting the above and destroying evidence straight away. 

 

On a side note and not mentioned in the programme , the welsh copper actually died before the case came to court according to wiki although it doesn't go into any details.

Chris Bavin badly wants to fuck this Georgia on Best Home Cook on BBC1. 

 

So do I but i'm not the judge on it. 

 

Dirty get.

Its not bad at all. Reviewers are as biased as anybody else so its always worth making your own mind up. This thread is as good,or better,than any reviewer.

Yeah I read about that too apparently he fell off a ladder....I've also read a lot of blokes who worked with him aren't happy with the way he was portrayed which you can kind of understand as they made him out to be a bit of a prick which makes you wonder how he got so high ranking in the first place...

I do agree Bamber did it, but surprised they never gave him a retrial as it was a case that was kind of also judged in the court of public opinion at that time.

The thing is if he had taken the silencer with him and not made the phone call he would have gotten away with five murders due to police ineptitude

Is Hap and Leonard worth watching?

 

I like Deep South/Cowboy stuff like Yellowstone, Justified etc.

I really enjoyed it. Well acted, but could be a little slow paced at times, but it worked well. It's a while since I finished it, but I'd have probably given it about 7.5/10. 

 

I've also just finished Mythic Quest. Sugar Apes description was spot on. It's an enjoyable watch. 8/10. 

[cloggypop]

Just seen Kathryn Jenkins dressed as a psychedelic octopus singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious there. Think I've been spiked.

[manwiththestick]

Ragnarok. 7.5/10 (so far). Two episodes in and it's pretty good.

The phone call he made to the local police station at the very outset instead of dialing 999 had the alarm bells ringing for me.

I've bought the white house farm book. The evidence in the programme just didn't seem enough to me. Jeremy was painted in a very bad way so throughout I just assumed he was an arsehole and did it.

Not watched the show yet but that seems like a bargain, so I'll get it. Thanks.

There has to be a point of appeal, such as an error in the judge’s summing up, new evidence, or a point of law, for example. The fact a jury accepted one witness testimony over another isn’t enough.

[VladimirIlyich]

Just finished Narcos Mexico,series 2. Its decent enough but still way below the Colombian stuff. Too much of a fondness for gun battles when the story gets a bit weak too. A solid 7.5/10

[SasaS]

Finished The Good Place, all in one go. Must say I preferred the early episodes, S1 was clever and innovative but it gets progressively more mushy and sentimental as it nears the end. So, for me S1 would be 8/10 and each subsequent season is a little bit worse. Last one was a bit shirt.

I really liked the first part but thought the second was shite. I couldn't wait for it to end.
