10yrs on still no real leads

e1 tonight

Thank you

Thanks. I've set this to record as OH is out tonight. Really enjoyed The Gold.

Yes I enjoyed the gold. I didn’t to begin with but tried it again before s2 and loved it

I'm loving it so far. Frustratingly, I can't seem to figure out when the next episodes are on. Any ideas, o wise ones?

We've downloaded the next two. I just presumed they'd be on at the same time for the next 2 Saturdays

Yes I thought they are on over the 3 Saturdays

e2 is empire in the sun

E2 tonight if anyone still watching

We just watched all 3 episodes in the one night 😃

I’m still tv pace as watch so much stuff

I prefer that but OH wanted to watch it all as he'd lived in the area at the time.

Yes local to me as well

I gave up after the first episode. I deleted the second episode I recorded. I just thought, I really don’t care.
I’m not bothered.
I’d read about the theories, the drug cartel and the hitman.
He wasn’t a good man.
I didn’t want to waste another hour on him.
As they say, “If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas”
What did he expect after all he’d done - that he’d live out his latter years in peace and comfort.

I'm really enjoying it. I'm also reading a bio of Goldfinger, and I've found the documentary by Roger Cook in which he confronts Goldfinger about his money laundering activities. It's on YouTube.

I remember it all pretty well. Looking forward to the final episode.

It’s def interesting

It's over. I'm bereft! Found the final episode a bit disappointing - inevitable I suppose. I wish they'd asked more questions about how Palmer was shot in the only place where there was no surveillance (ergo someone must've been familiar with his movements and his security setup, which suggests lots of prior surveillance to me). If the suggested hitman was surveilling before the shooting, wouldn't he have been seen and noticed from the nearby path?

Who ordered the killing I wonder? Must be plenty of candidates, but Palmer turning grass in anticipation of a reduced sentence makes some sense given his age.

It's almost comical how Essex police missed the bullet holes.

Guess will never know who orders the killing

what channel was this please?

oh sorry, is that Sky?
