I’m only on episode 2 but I’d recommend it so far, especially for those who were unaware of what transpired that eveningyou could tell us if it's good or not..
I think there's a happy endingNo spoilers!
No spoilers!
No paedophile or rape jokes before anyone thinks of posting one. Should go without saying realy but have to post it as I know what some are like.I think there's a happy ending
Well bloody pointless watching it now!They spoilered it on Radio 4 today, apparently someone thinks she still might be alive.
That is madShe could be alive somewhere watching it not realising its her
Oh come on, seriously? FFSI think there's a happy ending
People really unaware of what happened?! This story has been retold year after year in the press etc so unless you're 9 or 10 anyone with minimal interest would know most of details and theories.I’m only on episode 2 but I’d recommend it so far, especially for those who were unaware of what transpired that evening
As Vangagal said above, she could well be alive and not know any different as to the environment she has grown up in (she was only 3 when she went missing not 5 or 6 when you're more aware of your family and home etc).Not a chance she's alive, if she was actually even taken. No one would keep her alive with all the media attention it had.
It's not about her knowing who she is. More the risk of someone recognising her. Half the world has her image burnt into their minds. In those early months and years after her disappearance, it wouldve been risky.As Vangagal said above, she could well be alive and not know any different as to the environment she has grown up in (she was only 3 when she went missing not 5 or 6 when you're more aware of your family and home etc).
Reality is this will be like Ben Needham case and we'll never know what happened.
Isn't he convinced the parents killed her and it's been this big cover up from higher up?Richard D. Hall has produced a number of documentaries about this case. I think they're still on YouTube if you're interested. He's made them on a very low budget but they are very good. I don't agree with all of his conclusions but he brings up a lot of interesting points.
Yep, that's about the size of it, but he does raise interesting questions about the involvement of people like Clarence Mitchell Clement Freud, and Gordon Brown. He goes down a number of blind alleys but his analysis of the statements of the 'tapas 7' is very perceptive. Hall's main beef is that the mainstream media have aided and abetted a cover-up from the start.Isn't he convinced the parents killed her and it's been this big cover up from higher up?
But why the cover up though? I don't believe that's what happened for what it's worth.Yep, that's about the size of it, but he does raise interesting questions about the involvement of people like Clarence Mitchell Clement Freud, and Gordon Brown.

Paedophilia seems to be the main reason.But why the cover up though? I don't believe that's what happened for what it's worth.
Most interesting point Hall made is that he believes she allegedly died/disappeared on the Sunday not the Thursday evening when contact was made with police....and press.Yep, that's about the size of it, but he does raise interesting questions about the involvement of people like Clarence Mitchell Clement Freud, and Gordon Brown.

For those who allege parents did it, I think belief is sedatives were given nightly to the 3 children to drop them off to sleep (while they went off to their dinners by the pool) and there might've been an overdose involve.I find it hard to believe that his own parents kill her. Accidentally maybe, but that just one hell of theory.
The one real problem I have with Hall is his use of a 'statement analyst' to bolster his claim that the McCanns lied throughout. It's pretty much pseudoscience; well, hocus-pocus really and you may as well try and divine the truth with chicken bones. I was curious about the other doctor who made sexual gestures over dinner suggesting sex with children. Hall does make some tenuous connections at times but he does a good job casting doubt on some of the witnesses.Most interesting point Hall made is that he believes she allegedly died/disappeared on the Sunday not the Thursday evening when contact was made with police....and press.
Would've allowed them time to properly dispense with body as I agree trying to do it when everyone was watching them when news broke would've been near impossible. Also got stories and timelines reasonably right.
Read in another thread there's also internet archive of a cached page that was made of "find Madeleine Mccann" internet page 3 days before she actually went missing which is pretty odd.
My gut instinct a few weeks after in 2007 was no way parents were actually involved in her demise as I just couldn't believe they could act like they did with that secret inside them.
As the years have passed and no real progress in investigation I have more open mind now. Still think this will remain mystery like Ben Needham and indeed Suzy Lamplaugh.
Not entirely clued in to this theory, is there evidence of this? At the very least id be interested in reading the conspiracy theory!I still think they have sold her.
One of the first things i said. They'd have been better leaving the kids at home. They shipped them off to a kids club all day, drugged them at night. Wasnt much parenting going onWatched episode one so far. Didn't realise she was an IVF baby as well. So the parents were so desperate for a child, then they go on a mark Warner holiday, put her in a creche all day then leave her in bed while they go out for dinner.
I’d add weird and borderline creepy to that list. Rare but not unknown among doctors. Still not evidence that they are murderers though.Honestly, I believe their own version of events. The problem is, even their own version paints them as incredibly selfish and negligent parents who should have had their other kids taken off them.
And while I understand their own desire to search for their daughter, I've yet to hear an explanation from the police as to why this child is more worthy than the other children they've given up on.
Sold her for what?I still think they have sold her.
I guarantee if they weren't middle class drs there would be a while lot more focus on the negligence of their "parenting"One of the first things i said.
