I've only started watching this, so won't rtft for now. But I don't understand all the comments about her accent. When she meets him he asks if she's American, and she says no, and then says all the places she's lived - so it's clear very early on that she's picked up bits of all of them

MrsLargeEmbodied · 17/11/2024 10:30

i think she says she is from canada

Yes she says she's from Canada then moved to Scotland then moved to somewhere else, and lists various places

I work with a guy who has a mixed accent like Delias. I thought he was Irish at first.
He's British but has lived in Canada and Australia.

Definitely Fargo!

The Newfoundland accent sounds Irish - if you've seen Come From Away it's very obvious.

I'm just starting on the docu. Which manages to make you amazed by the story all over again. And the art-work! That's grim. And of course it also shows how well AMM captured her, and what a great job they did of her story.

I'm struggling, it feels really slow. Most exciting thimg about the first 20 minutes was him spilling tea on her rug and the fact I used to have a skirt like hers!

I had that skirt too! I thought the general 90s feel created was really good. But what a horrific series of events it's based on.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 30/11/2024 20:36

Anna Maxwell Martin was stunning in this. I loved the fact that the story was told entirely from her perspective as the victim. She was perfect for it.

Just finished the last two eps. I thought it was superbly done, and the cast were excellent. The way Delia was treated was made clear. Remarkable that the case wasn't more renowned; after all, it certainly is an amazing story.

I hadn't heard of this case before. And have just watched it this weekend after being recommended by a friend. It was very well done. So little protection from the police after those horrifying attacks. And him being given bail. Beggars belief.

dollybird · 02/12/2024 20:50

I thought she sounded like she was the west country, with a few Canadian ('oot' for out) and American bits.

She wasn't likeable at times, but I agree, she wasn't a 'perfect' victim, but I expect lots of victims may not be that nice, but it doesn't mean they deserve to be a victim or to not be treated fairly by the police and criminal justice system.

Mill3nnial · 03/12/2024 18:48

I just watched all this and thought it was very well done

The system failed Delia and I can understand her anger

Hels20 · 04/01/2025 08:06

This is superb. Just finished watching. Anna maxwell Martin is brilliant in it. As is Shaun Evans. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about the case beforehand. The anger she felt is palpable. Was sorry it didn’t work out with David.

Hels20 · 04/01/2025 08:08

I kept on wondering if this would happen now / wouldn’t there be a mass internet exposure trying to catch him? Like that man who threw acid at his ex partner in Clapham and then it was all on the news and then they found him (dead).

musicalfrog · 19/01/2025 07:41

Only just finished watching this.

Wow.

This was surprising not because of the MVAW or because of the pathetic policing surrounding this case. Surprising because of Delia's responses to it all.

Let's be honest, she had no filter, she had feelings and she let them all out, she went where the vast majority of us would never dare to go.

She appeared to be a closed book and emotionally restricted, when in fact she was anything but. I really admire her for letting her anger see the light in a way which 'civilised society' shies away from.

Who tf cares if she's ND? It really shouldn't matter, and ANYONE should be able to express themselves as honestly as she did. After what she went through, she's earnt her fucking right to offend the public's sensibilities.

Delia if you're reading this thread, thank you and I hope life is how you wish it to be now. You deserve only good things.
