    Anyone catch the first part of the Luke Mitchell/Jodie Jones doc on Chan 5?

    Its obviously edited and aimed at trying to show him as innocent. Something I have heard from a few people who were close to the case at the time, they cast doubt.

    However, what annoys me in these programs is the exclusion of what they did have and how they did find him guilty - along with 4 failed appeals. There HAS to be some evidence to have convicted him. He had Donald Findlay as his defence, he would have taken the prosecution apart with ease based on what we've been fed so far.

    Yeah, I saw it. Like you, I was very sceptical about the way the programme was presented. I rarely watch C5, and I realised why 😆

    I will watch the second part tomorrow, though, as it has me hooked. No DNA evidence? 🤨

    I'm sure I read in the past that they suspected the whole Mark Kane thing was an attempt to make money from the press. Can't remember the detail but the guy that knew him was a right dodgy character.

    Something also came out about the condom owner. Think he'd claimed to be by himself but got himself in a bit of a muddle when trying not to sound like a lonely w***er!

    Never saw the documentary but one of my best mates is a defence lawyer, he sat through the trial as part of his training, his opinion is and always has been that personally he thinks he did have something to do with it but the evidence he was convicted on was ridiculous and it was effectively trial by media

    I have a feeling we've spoke about this before, but I won't go into detail of what I believe I know on here

    I have a morbid fear of snakes, but Snakes in the City, following a couple who catch and release snakes into the wild in the Durban area is compulsive viewing for me.

    Also, The Secret Lives of Kangaroos on Sky nature.

    Seaspiracy on Netflix was a shocking and upsetting watch. I finished watching it and decided that’s me finished eating fish. Whether I stick to that remains to be seen.

    I’ve watched a couple of documentaries on Netflix. This is a robbery is about an art theft in Boston and the other one was about the GameStop share shenanigans that happened recently, both were really enjoyable, especially the robbery one as I wasn’t aware of the story.

    It’s called GameStop, the wall street hijack. I said it was on Netflix but it’s actually on discovery+. You might get it on catch up as well.

    I watched Sherpa on Netflix last night. Primarily about the 2014 avalanche that killed 16 Sherpa men but a more general look at the economic, social and cultural realities of life for the Sherpa people as mountain guides.

    The disdain with which some of the rich foreigners treated them was quite shocking to watch. The total lack of empathy to their demands after they had watched their friends and family killed was bewildering. The simple fact is without the Sherpas Everest would remain out of reach for these people paying or receiving tens of thousands of pounds to go there. The share of the danger the Sherpas face compared to the money they earn and conditions they live in is disproportionate. The expedition companies profess to care but it's not hard to see the mask slip and the Nepalese Govt are quite open about their lack of care, Everest is a cash cow for them.

    I'd recommend it although prepare to be angry by the end of it.

    I'm obsessed with all things high altitude so couldn't wait to watch this, I agree with everything you say, I realise the climbers paid an absolute rake of cash to be there but their sense of self entitlement in the wake of such a tradegy had me absolutely raging

    One thing's for sure, you will never ever find me going through the Khumbu Icefall

    I’ll be watching that, cheers.

    When I was at school and learnt about Everest (loved learning about all that exploring stuff) it was all about Sir Edmund Hillary, some guy called Sherpa tensing got a mention, but the mention was he was very much the carrying the bags, showing the real hero where the mountain was, etc etc.

    I only recently found out his actual name was Tensing Norgay and he was the main driver getting up the mountain and his skill and dexterity was really what made it possible.

    I know some folk will hate bringing politics into this but that’s what BLM is really talking about. Prejudice right there in the way history is taught to 8 year olds in British schools.

    I watched that. There were comments earlier in the thread about Netflix drawing some of these documentaries out with stuff that’s a whole series long that could have been done in an hour’s show. Well this takes it to another level. An hour and a half that could probably have been covered in 20 minutes.

    Watched a 3 parter about Stephen Lawrence on BBC4 this week. It's a repeat from a few years ago, but no less shocking for it. Today is Stephen Lawrence Day, and the full story has yet to be told, 28 years on.

    Also on BBC4, a weekly series about Watergate. I've been a geek about it since my teenage years. This series brings it all under 1 story. My only criticism so far is the absence of any mention of the links between the Nixon administration and the Mob.

    Just watched. I've watched a lot of stuff on Everest as it fascinates me. I'll never be able to afford it but would've loved to do it.

    That being said given these disasters in the past 20 odd years it's clear the guys leading the expeditions are exploiting these Sherpas and the Nepalese government are coining it in.

    I understand there's a spiritual reason not to disturb the mountain too much but I do wonder why they can't airlift the equipment as high as possible to aid the Sherpas.

    The Khumbu ice fall is still the easiest way to get up the mountain which tells you how dangerous it really is.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Roy Orbison's life story, not on i-player anymore. He had more than his fair share of personal tragedy's, so sad, yet he was such a gentle kind soul. He was so happy with the Travelling Wilbury's just before his sudden death. A really good watch, quite emotional but also made me realise just what a cruel hand some people get dealt in life.

    I watched a docuseries about a guy that walked into a bank with a bomb strapped to him. Given what happened it’s hard to believe it’s a true story. It was called evil genius.

    Class Action Park on Sky Documentaries.

    Water/racing park in the 80s with no health and safety and basically run by teenagers. Some of the rides look absolutely terrifying - loop the loop water ride where people lose their teeth.

    Exterminate all the Brutes on Sky Docs, interesting if not a little bit of uncomfortable viewing.

    It really divided opinion in my house...I absolutely loved it, unbelievable footage and the animal behaviour was extraordinary. The rest of my clan were wondering what the fuss was about and found the protagonist annoying.
