Of course she can. But that possibility made her even more vulnerable in my eyes and more likely to be treated poorly by people seeing her as ' weird ' ( Police )

To me, it's relevant.

I think it was a one off Government amnesty at the time.

I recognise her from Brookside I think it is . If anyone remembers Brookie

@Blondeshavemorefun Have just googled about the Christmas Amnesty. It was in the mid 90s and was for some prisoners with sentences of less than 11 years who were nearing the end of their term and other prisoners who met certain criteria. Unfortunately Sweeney was one of them.

I think what really got me about this story is the impact of separation from one's family across oceans and miles, and the inherent vulnerability in that on top of all of her baseline vulnerability, and how necessary an ingredient that can be to prevent abuse - to have people close to you who can view what's happening to you through a pure lens as opposed to the lens that has become disconnected/warped over time because of the absence of the grounding impact of family/close friends. The scene with the psychiatrist, and the scene where the friend tells her she's moving killed me. Anna Maxwell Martin's performance was so powerful.

Yes. You can see the police judging her right from the start. Also the red flags she missed until things got really bad. The red flags her friend saw.

Depressingly I doubt it, woman are constantly let down by the police and courts.

And housing. From what ive been told on other threads she wouldnt be allowed to change the locks now.

This is horrific . The police were judging her by her reactions and shouldn't have , but although it wouldn't have been their decision to let him free and out on bail , they shouldn't have told her he wouldn't break his bail conditions .

Watching this, I see why so many women would never go to the Police. You know the man has the potential to kill you and has said as much. You know they're unlikely to face much in terms of a penalty for what they've done. You go to the Police, and for some, things get worse.

It's also a horrible reminder how vulnerable you are if you have no family/ no one to look out for you.

I'd never have a man cross my threshold ever again. I haven't experienced this in a partner but various vulnerabilities mean I'd feel terrified to ever ever allow anyone one inch into my life like that.

I'm overwhelmed by all these type of stories I've seen.

This keeps coming back to me and maybe is the reason I couldn't sleep last night, the scene with the bike is so horrific, I really like Delia (I do think that she is ND and therefore quite vulnerable anyway) she wasn't kept safe at all.

Thanks for that @2dogsandabudgie

Wonder what criteria he met

Cop: he's being released as a Christmas amnesty. It's ok he's got strict bail conditions. He won't hurt you he's not allowed to come to your house.

Delia: wtf

Sweeney: attacks her with an axe

Episode 3.

Already annoyed by the WPC family liaison officer. All hearts and flowers and fuck all else

I feel quite sorry for the family liaison officer. She is one of the few that actually gets Delia's personality but looks like she has been dumped with the role because she is a WPC, had no training on how to do it and no influence over the investigation at all.

Noticed this is directed by a woman

Why wasn't she able to give evidence behind a screen or a video link

I thought she was asked if she wanted to be behind a screen and said she wanted him to see her and that he hadn’t broken her

E3 recap

reelmockery.com/until-i-kill-you-series-1-episode-3-recap/

Just watching 3 now

I really recognise Jane barker the pc lady

Name of Lucy Thackeray

What's she been in

The whole thing is awful. Anna is delivering a really powerful performance. Was the real Delia involved in the dramatisation?

It's from her book and she appears extensively in the ITV documentary. She must have been heavily involved as watching Delia in the documentary the details are all there in the drama.

She is very prickly and hard work

Even in e1 before all that happened to her

But you can understand why now she feels how she does and acts the way she does

Yes this

I binged watched too but can't believe the real Delia still sleeps on the bed he made.
