The Ice Cream Wars BBC 1 and iplayer

[RhubarbStrawberry]

Did anyone watch this? So upsetting what happened to the family. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001d3jx

Yes, I've seen it. I remember it really well as was all over news at time. I lived in Glasgow at the time, and I remember there were hardly any ice cream vans for ages afterwards.

I've only watched the first episode so far but it seems the 2 jailed for it were exonerated later. Such a sad story for the family. Did anyone in the flat survive?

I think the mum and a brother survived @RhubarbStrawberry . My auntie and cousins lived near this family and were really upset . It was horrific. Such a nice family as well, just trying to go about their lives . And the wee baby. I remember my aunt talking about the funeral at the chapel and the streets being lined with people and all the coffins. Absolutely senseless. And whoever did it got away with it. There is no way you pour petrol and set in alight in those flats and not expect people to die. So obvious it was a death trap.
