The ITV Drama

[Kaldin]

I would have liked more about the money - the wrangling afterwards, the changing of Mrs Speakman's Will, etc. I would also have liked to see more characters - Robert Boutlour, Pamela, Sue, etc. I think they wanted to keep it simple though, and if they included everything it would have been twice as long. That would have been fine for me. Each episode isn't really an hour, what with all those adverts.

Still, I am enjoying it, and I think Freddie Fox is doing a magnificant job - regardless of whether he's actually like Jeremy or not.

Sometimes it' an ordeal facing people after a hard day's work, plus given his nickname of Stinko I would imagine the first thing he'd wish to do is get into the shower.

Steve, I'm smiling to myself. I wish you could see The Chequers. It's very old, long, low and dark. Beware the beams!! A one time smugglers' haunt. There's a large main bar which doubles as a restaurant, off which there are numerous 'snugs' where one can always find any number of locals -'mature' men chewing the fat and talking about the old days- for whom they're reserved. Go in at your peril!!! There's an excellent walled garden if the pub is full. The only people he was likely to have met were regulars who were also farm workers. Naturally, though, if he'd had a date, he'd have gone home to shower and change first.

Doubt I'd have any issues

And well done you for keeping count

Well considering this forum  and the legal profession has been debating exactly what happened in the house for years without conclusion then I don’t see how they could ?

And I can’t quite understand where cc was coming from .

The legal profession? What 'all' of them? 

[Jane]

Doubt I'd have any issues 

Ha! You may be certain I do. The behind the bar floor is about 2 feet lower than floor in front. It means the  paneling which surrounds the bar is low. Tall people have to duck when ordering drinks. Even 'tinies' get looked up to by bar staff.

Did you ever see the money video?

Yes but that works both ways because we know full well who was first in line of inheritance.

It sounds ideal. About as far from a Yates Wine Lodge as you could possibly get.

It absolutely is, Steve. Excellent, locally sourced food and beers.

Well it was common knowledge Jeremy hated June.

----------


Chapter 31, page 220 of Wilkes's book -

Julies mother Mary Mugford followed her daughter into the witness box.

She said 'Jeremy hated his mother & blamed her for turning Sheila mad. And he resented her for loving the twins more than him. Jeremy disliked his mother intensely & I felt he was more affectionate to me'.

'He used to call me mummy all the time. He offerred me his mothers small car which had been bought that Christmas. This was just after the shooting. A list had been drawn up and he was going to keep no momentoes, which I thought very strange. He wanted to sell everthing'.

'Jeremy resented his mother because she sent him away to boarding school. He never forgave her for that.

'Apparently she was a religious maniac'.

'A few months before the murders Jeremy had told me her mother was thinking of changing her will in favour of her grandsons, on whom she doted'.

'Jeremy never spoke to his mother & she never showed any affection towards him'.

'He often spoke of this'.

What absolute rubbish and hearsay

There’s a letter that proves that’s not true. I bet she doted on him.

They dare not show the wrangling about the money because more members of the public will come to the conclusion Jeremy was set up

That was brilliant. Could you post it Rich because of all the new viewers here.
