Watched ep1, it'll be separate episodes.

Yeah I’ve finished episode one, I found it really tense the way they did the split screen where the body worn cameras are on one side and the officers at the station are on the other waiting for news.

I disappeared down the true crime rabbit hole during lockdown, I doubt that I'll ever emerge. 🤭

I’m fairly sure they’re new as I haven’t seen them, but I may be wrong. There’s 2 new trails added to Murder Trials on IPlayer. They previously covered 3 cold cases, on Margaret Fleming, Dr Brenda Page and another case of a murdered mother and child. Just posting in case anyone else has missed this.

Having now watched the first new episode I just thought it would be interesting to add that I recently served on a High Court jury and the prosecutor was the same KC, I felt he was very fair and put his points across extremely well. He gave fair dialogue on the defences case and was very professional. Now starting the second one and it’s the same prosecutor, and also the defence lawyer who was part of my case is involved for one of the accused, I also found him very professional and he did his best to defend someone who we ultimately found guilty on 6 separate less serious charges that are being decided on here.

Same judge too. This is so fascinating for me to see the same lawyers do their stuff.

Same judge too!

Murder Case and Murder Trial both on currently, very similar programmes, both worth a watch.

Murder Case and Murder Trial both on currently, very similar programmes, both worth a watch.

If anyone fancies an interactive version of this, I’d recommend a show called Murder Trial Tonight. I’ve been to it twice (two different cases). They show some videos acting out some things leading up to the murder. Then the show is the trial and the audience is the jury. Based on real cases with names changed. After the “jury” gives their verdict, they then show a video acting out what actually happened and the real outcome of the trial.

Think it’s coming back to Edinburgh soon with yet a different case.

We got talking to one of the cast in the bar after the first one and he was saying with that one, every audience had voted the same way which was the “correct” verdict in that we correctly found the person not guilty but the actual outcome was guilty and the person spent years in jail incorrectly. Amazing, assuming no evidence was left out of the show, that the real jury voted that way.

The Boyzone documentary is very good. Not my cup of tea music wise but like the Bros equivalent it's very good viewing and an insight into the music business and how ruthless it all is.

Not seen it but I've read some stuff online about it. Without stating the obvious, Louis Walsh sounds like an absolute welt of a guy.

Watched this with the Mrs last night was good watch, I hated Louis Walsh before it but even more now, as said by another poster weasel is best suited, just seems like a bully using people for self gain at any cost just doesn’t care about anyone other than himself and his bank balance, the way he was speaking reading the paper about Stephen gaitley being outed was shameful as was his attitude towards his death rat of a man

He was on Celebrity Big Brother last year. Didn't come across well at all on that. Came across as manipulative, conniving, a bully and a malicious gossip. Pretty sure he was ripping into Simon Cowell for less than what was described above about himself as well. I think Jedward absolutely despise the guy. I was kind of hoping the producers would put them in to confront him.

They will probably go on the likes of Wowcher, Itison, etc. nearer the time. That’s what we did last year. First time we saw it, it was at the Village Hotel and sold out. They were nowhere near selling out the EICC last year.

I've watched a few things about her, I know exactly who you are referring to but, won't say too much to avoid spoiling the story for others.

Was just about to watch it but see it’s a 2 part series so I’ll wait for second one.

New series of Forensics, The Real CSI has started, one of my favourites.

Con Mum on Netflix, terrible luck for the guy involved but cant help but feel he dropped his guard for both natural and possibly greed fuelled intentions, decent watch nothing ground breaking I'm just a sucker for 90min docu's a rarity these days

Love, Loss and the Pandemic. 5 years on. On iPlayer now. Very emotional and very angering at the same time. So many people died that could have been avoided.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The cult next door, also on the iPlayer, only watched the first half so far, a bit mental though.
