Having watched the 2nd part of this documentary The RAF & MOD have a lot to answer for, the dignity of the families left behind is amazing given what they had to go through. I won't say anymore just incase others end up watching it.

Was this the Chinook which crashed in an island off Scotland with a number of Northern Ireland politicians and civil servants?

Watched a Dispatches episode called Dead Man Running the other night on iPlayer.

It is a bout an odd-ball guy in Inverness who is a local 'hero', raising lots for charity by doing challenging swims, is commended by the police for keeping the community safe, etc. There's a dark side to him, though and he does a runner just as he's about to be brought to justice and ends up faking his apparent death.

Search for Dispatches on the iPlayer, though as nothing comes up by searching the actual name of the episode

We just started The Octopus Murders on Netflix, another gripping story that highlights the lengths people will go to for money and power.

Just getting round to this now, there really are some sinister characters going about in the corridors of power on this planet.

The scenes with the Killer Whales trying to capture and kill the young whale were fascinating, brutal and brilliant at the same time.

Drones have taken wildlife filming to a whole new level.

There's certainly been some amazing footage as ever.

The digital detectives on C4 has been really interesting, the cases shocking of course but how they go around putting the picture together using tech data we carry around is eye opening

Ministry of Evil - The Twisted Cult of Tony Alamo on iPlayer, at the end of the 3rd episode he looks like the double of Gary Glitter and was behaving in the same manner as him when it comes to underage girls.

Pompeii : The New Dig . Interesting stuff

I watched that, excellent to see the near perfect condition of some of the artefacts and buildings, considering it was over 2000 years ago, the carbonised round loaf of bread reminded me of my Wifes baking 🫣

Murders at Little Bridge Farm on C&I, what a sick and sadistic individual.

When evil came to Rochdale on My5, absolutely mental 😳

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Abused by Mum - The Ruby Franke Scandal on My5, horrible viewing, particularly the 911 call from the neighbour.

I'm about half way through a Steve Martin documentary on Apple TV. It's really good so far, all from the horses mouth and has his only private videos and notebooks. Similar style to the Garry Shandling documentary which is also great if you've not seen it.

Cheers, I'll give that a watch. I've been waiting on a show about him coming out.

I thought his story would have been right up Netflix's street.

The tattoos, a tattoo artist made his way into high dependency ward during covid with all his kit and managed to give him half a sleeve on one sitting without any nursing staff witnessing it 🤣

I've only watched the first episode but I'm familiar with his story. It is the tattoo stuff that really reeled me in when it was in the news. That's what makes me really suspicious of the wife too. I don't buy the "they've got the wrong man and I'm standing by him" narrative. She would know about the tattoo.

Absolutley, it was even suggested he did not need a wheelchair or oxygen, the surprising thing, probably only for the cameras his Wife physically lifting the fat lump from his wheelchair

I'm less sold on the wheelchair and oxygen not being required - I'm assuming he didn't fake the covid, so he might well need those as a result - I just don't know. The thing that does make me suspicious about the breathing difficulties is that it doesn't seem to stop him being able to get riled in a press situation. For example, the clip in the first episode where he is on some (I assume) American news show and he goes a bit OTT with a rant and tries to get out of the wheelchair.

I think it was mentioned by one of the medical team that he didnt require the oxygen or wheelchair
