AMM is utterly stupendous in this. Very harrowing.

@Lalgarh

That's really interesting info, I love it when you recognise a place shown on TV!

Wittow · 04/11/2024 22:18

Is Delia on the autistic spectrum do you think?

MichaelAndEagle · 04/11/2024 22:24

AMM is an amazing actress. I'm not surprised she's nailed the accent as others who have seen the documentary have said.
She's so versatile too.

Yes.

I would say so too.

Caiti19 · 04/11/2024 22:38

I'm sitting weeping after finishing this. Most devastating thing I've watched in years.

JenniferBooth · 04/11/2024 22:40

They found his serial killer tools in the bathroom and STILL let him out on bail. They FAILED her

JenniferBooth · 04/11/2024 22:45

Can someone knowledgable answer this question. When did it not become ok to change the locks on a rented property? In episode 1 Sweeney shouts at Delia that its a council place and we see her change the locks in this episode 2 and ask for copies of keys for other tenants? Ive been told on several SH threads that i have no right to change locks So im wondering when this came about

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/11/2024 22:57

Ok I have e2 a chance as so many said its worth it

Better then e1

But yes she was let down by the police so much 🥲🥲🥲

Can't believe this is a true story. How could they release him to be with his family at Xmas esp after they found the bag of tools

If this happen now in 2020's I would hope the outcome and police behaviours would be very different

An amnesty for prisoners at Christmas to "visit Their families ".

Awwsw 🤑

I watched it all it was really really good, there is a line in it whereby some one says it's only anger holding her together

Augustus40 · 05/11/2024 07:50

Enjoying it on Catch Up

Lalgarh · 05/11/2024 09:59

Quite telling that the cops keep referring to him as her boyfriend and she has to keep saying he's not, she's finished with him, because of, you know the holding hostage and repeated rapes and knife attacks.

In the thread about Holly Newton I made a comment that by referring to her killer as her boyfriend it belittles it. You can see they perceive it as a Lover's Tiff

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/11/2024 10:27

Being tied up for 4days and sex against her will so raped isn't a lover Tiff

As I said previously if this happened in 2020's I hope the help and support would have been very different

I'm glad I persevered with it as Monday I wasn't sure so thank you fellow tv addicts for saying give it another try

What lady in the protected housing? I’m watching tv pace so is that a spoiler for tonight’s episode? There’s no spoilers on this thread so please no more spoilers about housing or the court case

I don't think the police would have had a say in releasing him out for Christmas. That would have been for the Court to decide as he was on remand. Obviously his solicitor would have pressed for his release.

I think the police's hands are tied in a lot of ways because of how our laws are.

Yes, exactly what I thought. I'm just watching this now. It's brilliant acting. So harrowing.

Lalgarh · 05/11/2024 11:37

Maybe she is. Maybe not. Can't she just have the right to be awkward and grumpy

I can absolutely believe it is a true story. I could tell you far worse stories.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/11/2024 11:49

Never heard of courts saying go done for Xmas
