Yes Caroline is his daughter.

Erobitha - if he senses Mike is a man who feels he has been deceived – then who has deceived him – and why? If he and Anne created the Diary together – as he says they did – then where is this deception?

JM

I can hypothesise all day long but it would be just that.

By that stage he and Ann I understand where pretty much not talking to each other and if they were it was unlikely to be pleasantries. I think Mike believed he was duped by the diary and by Ann. I believe he feels he was used by Ann as she knew he would run with it because of his nature. So what better way to show them all by announcing he and Ann were indeed the evil geniuses that will show Ann and put a spanner in the works. He was highly paranoid. The provenance on this document or the proof that it was forged by Nike & Ann lies solely with a man who cannot be trusted to read the phone book without lying - and this I feel has been the biggest barrier to the Maybrick document for both sides.

I can't recall, Caroline is his daughter isn't it?

If anybody is wondering why I'm asking, watch the trailer.

[erobitha]

Mike was clearly intoxicated in that trailer. Also I find it odd he focuses on Anne rather than giving more detail on how he allegedly forged it. He comes across incredibly angry and bitter. I sense he is a man who feels he has been deceived and laughed at so to take control of the situation he tries to claim he was the deceptor - and he had the last laugh all along.

I don’t buy that this man was the man that wrote the Maybrick document - or even dictated it. I don’t believe his trouble with alcohol came after the release of the diary but it certainly made his paranoia much worse.

[Sam Flynn]

Nah, I think I'll give this one a miss.









Not.

Thanks for the correction.
I did read Whale's wikipedia page before I released this and it followed what you're saying.
I was a little puzzled, but not knowing any better I chose to go with what the source for the tape said in writing, which was BBC Radio Leeds.
Frustratingly, unlike some of the others, the tape case itself contained no clues.

.......

It's too late to fix the podcast now, but I appreciate getting the station right here on the boards.

JM

No problem. Glad to be of some help.

I'd be very interested to know if anything ever came of Shirley following up with the man who claims to have seen the police investigation at the house where the diary was found. Or the lady who claimed to be related to Elizabeth Stride.

Regarding Shirley Harrison on Radio Aire.
I enjoyed the phone in taking questions from listeners.
At 30.30. Dave from the West Midlands -

The whole thing was government propaganda.
It's all bullshit and I'm sure you know it

He then says that Shirley and James are aliens and when asked what he means by that he says I don't know, but I'm sure that you do!

In the end James says ah shut your mouth you stupid pratt, and cuts him off.

Great stuff.

Very typical of all the phone ins I ever heard from him. He always seemed to try his best to appeal to a certain audience, mainly the sort of people who become easily outraged at liberal intellectuals such as those who write non-fiction books... Which always annoyed me a bit because he is an extremely intelligent man with a vast breadth of knowledge.
When he says in the interview that he was once a Ripper Tour Guide, don't doubt for a moment that he was, and could probably have conducted this interview on a somewhat... higher... level of debate. But he always felt the need to allow the likes of "Dave" to come on the air just so that he could tell them to get lost.

Just as an annoying point of clarification - I'm fairly sure James Whale had moved to the station "talkRadio" by 98.

(He didn't work at Radio Leeds, a BBC regional station, but worked at Radio Aire, a commercial station in Leeds. I worked there for a very brief period as a Production Assistant for the DJ who followed James on the even later "late night" show back in 88/89.)

Absolutely irrelevant to the case, of course, but just in case anyone wanted to conduct any sort of follow up.
