It's not the one with Emilia Fox?

Ahhh - it could well be - just saw it on the freeview listings as I flicked through - not much info there.

It is the one with Emilia Fox Eten.

Thanks Herlock - watched it again anyway - Good introduction to the main aspects of the case, I think.

To be honest I don’t remember anything about it Eten. I might have another look at it on iPlayer.

Nothing new for you in the programme - but they do keep it factual and accurate and cover the main points of each murder. They also dismiss some well known suspects which I think you will agree with - and come down on their prime suspect, which you may not agree with but would recognise as a strong contender.

More style than content
They decided to make a full scale mock up of the Chapman murder scene so as to get a feel of what was going through the Murderer's mind.
absolutely pointless, proved by the point that they didnt bother with any of the other murder scenes.
