Did anyone watch this? It was very interesting.
It didn't sit well with me though. I kept wanting to believe that he was innocent but I actually don't believe he is.
I think perhaps he has convinced himself with the lies.
What are your thoughts?

I found it very interesting but as everything seemed to point to his guilt right from the beginning why did they choose this case? That was the bit that didn't sit well with me.

I really enjoyed it until the end, which was all a bit of an anti-climax. I thought there was a chance his conviction might be called into question but then as the investigation progressed, it seemed more and more probable that he was guilty.

There was something about that man. He came across as quite polite, cool and collected, professional sort but he wouldn't do the lie detector and the whole thing about him pushing her to one side and her falling through a glass door!

Just strange

Very strange but very interesting.

The first reason for refusing the polygraph: disturbing his busy day. Just made no sense. From everything I have heard, prison is unremittingly boring, surely he would welcome something to break the monotony?

He came across to me as someone who needs to be in control. Agreeing to the polygraph then changing his mind when the polygraph became a reality was part of this.

paint dry for me I'm afraid. 20 minutes in, and the amateur sleuth - a journalist - still babbling and wondering around. no clear reason why this case was even taken up. I thought it was a very poor documentary by BBC standards. more something i'd expect from C5 or Quest TV etc.

I think they picked it because of The Christopher Halliwell thing. The whole 'blood was planted and she just left her kids' was nonsense.

Just caught up with this on iPlayer. I can understand why he wouldn’t take the polygraph test - I think you would be very worried it would give a false positive (however unlikely) but he definitely strung Louise along.

The blood in the car was just unexplained. And surely means he was guilty (assume there was no way his friend - who he had borrowed car off could have done it).

The only thing I thought was odd that - with his release date so close - he was trying to get his conviction overturned.
If he is guilty - seems odd. Surely you would accept it?
