Anyone watching Madeleine McCann ten years on?

[spottysuperted]

They're framing it slightly differently now.. 😧 interesting from the bbc...

I'm not out of principle.

I know threads on this topic have been deleted in the past so I'll be sensitive when I say I think that the police and media response would have been very different if the parents were both on benefits and had gone to a bar in magaluf (deliberately being stereotypical by the way).

I knew about the cadaver dogs ..best fbi trained dogs in the world no less

There's one side to the story ... what happened. None of us know as there is no evidence available. Everything else is speculation, not a side to the story.

I watched the Sky one earlier and now the BBC one is on.
Yes, very interesting. Tragic.

It's not pro-PJ by far, but it certainly doesn't seem to be coming across as pro-mccanns either.

Good reporting?

Little emotion? The poor woman looks wrecked!

I've never thought the amount of emotion she (they) show is here nor there. The woman was a GP, she probably therefore has plenty practice in holding it tog.

Together

It just seems to be dragging up old stuff, I've not heard anything that I haven't heard anywhere else. It's all very sad.

No. Many children go missing every day (unfortunately).

What have I missed re jonbenet? The poor father and mother were both completely cleared I thought?

People are mainly suspicious because they didn't accept responsibility or feel guilty, if they just said yeah we hold our hands up we made a terrible mistake and show concern for her. All their responses were about them & their emotions -no pleading with the kidnapper or showing concern for what she might be going through. Essentially they are unusual people & strangely more focussed on suing people than looking

MaisyPops very true.

People talking about the dogs- you did hear the bit where it was proven the dogs didn't actually find any concrete evidence?

I agree Kate looked absolutely broken.

Also not sure how much more they could possibly have been villified if they HAD been less well off and going to a bar in Magaluf! How much more could have been thrown at those poor people? I actually feel they have been treated much worse because of inverse snobbery. They were seen as too composed, too well off, too well educated, well spoken etc.

The friends with them were never villified for also leaving their kids in their rooms. The McCanns did nothing worse than they did.

And I am dumbfounded that anyone could think parents who were involved in their child's disappearance would deliberately strive to keep the case in the public eye as much as possible all these years!

Google her brother, hate. His names Burke.

Oh, and it's a straw man argument to say many other children go missing. How many small children are abducted by strangers? It's incredibly, incredibly rare.

Yes agreed Vera - it can't be - why would they court the media if they were responsible

pacific

Same here with my ds2

I am not watching it, will be interesting to see what people on here think of the programme

It's new that the reporter was offered tidbits for spying, isn't it?
I certainly hadn't heard that before

The reason these threads get pulled is because they seem to attract all the bile-spewing vile types, who love to take a pop at the McCanns because they're middle-class.
In fact, people are hinting at the nasty stuff already.

Oh, and it's a straw man argument to say many other children go missing. How many small children are abducted by strangers? It's incredibly, incredibly rare.

Was that aimed at me? I'm just saying that I don't know why I should care more about this particular (although incredibly tragic) case than about other unsolved crimes/tragedies.

I'm just watching the programme.

Maisy i was just going to say the same thing as you. If the parents had been from a council estate i think the BBC would be approaching it from a different angle and certainly making more of the fact that they left her in the apartment to go to dinner.

I dont recall any newspaper pressuring the Gov. on behalf of Kerry Needham either.
