This has a thread in the telly bit but it deserves one here too. I watched it based on the 5 star Guardian Review. I didn't know the story. I'd never heard of her. I can't stop thinking about her now and what a bloody shero she is. I don't want to give spoilers but it merits a watch. It deserves awards - a shocking story incredibly well told.

Watched episode 1. It's so creepy, it's well done. You know it's gonna turn bad, from the off.

Just started watching it. I'd never heard of this story maybe because I wasn't living in the UK at the time.

I was riveted to this. It was so well acted, and I'm really glad that the real Delia Balmer was involved and gave it her seal of approval. It is depressing how little has changed since the 90s in terms of how victims are treated by police and the justice system. I nearly threw my cup at the tv when John Sweeny's barrister tried to suggest that, rather than having been tied up and raped for 4 days, she consented to it because she liked a bit of rough sex and masochism. Fucker 😡

I've watched the first 2 episodes. She was so let down by the police and CPS. What a remarkable woman! Obviously I know the ending but really looking forward to the next 2 episodes

Yes it was excellent documentation of the failings of the CJS to protect her and based on a real story which is on tonight.
