The ITV Drama

[Jan]

Good review Jan.  it’s quite unbelievable that at the start of the drama they say this is a true story

No mention of the cheque book fraud so far showing how honest she was

To be fair small bits were based on statements .

But some bits were well out of order IMO

[lookout]

Much of it is so unrecognisable it makes me wonder who did this, the production team or the author.

Well, let's hope there was enough Julie bashing in tonight's episode to satisfy the hatiest of Julie haters. She was portrayed, in turns, of being avaricious, supportive of Jeremy, jealous, uncertain, sexual, confused, a would-be murderess -although he didn't appear unduly panicked.

Colin appeared confused, guilty and angry at himself for being taken in by Jeremy. Very understandable.

It was good to be shown what was going on within the police force.

Great characterization of Sheila's breakdown, although perhaps, not quite as it happened. I can accept artistic licence.

The fraud won't be mentioned as she was given immunity, so that'll be conveniently skipped when the court case starts next week.

Jeremy's trips were funded, his house was free, his car and fuel were free, he was paid a salary and he didn't have schizophrenia - wouldn't we have all loved such a life? I know which  would choose.

So True.

[lookout]

So True.

Sheila hadn't done too badly either !

[notsure]

i think it would be so much more interesting if they had done a real whodunnit. instead this is a Jb guilty drama. such a shame! not at all factual tonight.

julie is being portrayed really weirdly imo. i don’t believe she was like this at all. it’s all really odd but with one goal JB is guilty!!! i’m glad the public won’t be looking into his appeal as he wouldn’t have a cats hells chance after this

[Jane]

Errors tonight?

Jeremy was not at the flat when sheila had her last episode ?

Jeremy had been planning the murders for over a year according to Julie’s statements ? Not 20 weeks ?

She did not just walk into the police station?

I don’t believe even the journalist said he actually looked at the pornagraphic photos ( no need to debate this again)

Anne Eaton did not knock Colin’s door and tell him jeremy had been arrested .


Some of these things are actually quite important .


But if course it’s a drama based on facts , that covers a multitude of sins .

Taff looking quite the down trodden fiery tyrant now.

How do any of those, frankly PETTY 'errors' make a scrap of difference?

LOVED Taff's comeuppance or should that be downputtance?

That's exactly what Jeremy said. Funny that.

That was in answer to what JB had also received---for nothing. Mollycoddled kids  Unable to stand on their own two feet.

Who do you think paid for his two trips to Australasia. Who was sending money out to him. It was Jeremy's perception that Sheila was getting more than he. As he said "It's my inheritance". It's called sibling rivalry. He took it to the extreme.

Who funded Sheila's " wasted " trip to Japan ?

They are not petty errors .

So in the big scheme of things they could have changed Julie’s words to say he had been planning it for a year , her words not mine . So why would they omit that ?

Jeremy did not witness that episode of sheilas and it did not show Freddy being scared for his life , his words , so why omit that ?

It was the family who called Colin by mistake as they were revelling in the fact that jeremy was going to be all over the papers the next day . And clumsily told Colin , what a way for him to find out . So why change that ?


None of the correct interpretations would have taken any more time whatsoever so the reasons are obvious.


I did also say that some of the scenes where quite accurate although MM was made to look very young and scared which I am not sure was correct .

If you have to condense parts then fair enough.But straight misinterpretation is another matter .

In your opinion .

You could also say ,as he did , he was a well off young man  and  Sheila did not have share in a successful business did she ?

 Not so badly treated then was he ?
