True Crime Media Alert

Hi Magpie,

No, this was a new one also featuring our PH. As I recall, Freemasonry received not a mention. The program really didn't have much to say about suspects which is good in my view. It had some pretty good CG stuff as well.

I just checked and I don't see that the show gets replayed this weekend. It will be repeated sometime I expect either on History or one of its sister channels. Maybe Philip has the schedule.

It looks like there are two dedicated threads going on this show now.

Hi - I knew nothing about this actually being broadcast. The programme makers told me they'd let me know when it happened. It's an amazing coincidence that it happened just minutes after we wrapped up the first day on the Conference. Unfortunately, the hotl doesn't have The History Channel but I brought the show with me on DVD so we might watch it after the world premiere of John Bennett's RIPPERLAND tonight.

John - I shall let you know what Martin thinks. Hee hee hee.

The Ripper show on last night has loads of small niggly errors in it. The one I can't get over was the fact I told the director in detail not to put two doors on 29 Hanbury Street for 1888... and he did. Still, they did indeed do a pretty nifty job with their recreations and CGI.

I thought it was pretty good. It showed a lot more of the actual areas than many docs do. It's the first time I've seen a mock-up of MJK's room on a doc, that I can recall. I liked the reconstructed scenes, even if they didn't pay attention to what Philip told them about 29 Hanbury.

Hallelujah, no Royals and no artists. I bet that puzzled some folks.

It was nice to see Donald Rumbelow sounding and looking so well. Philip did well. I can't say about the other two because I don't know them.

Just hunted through the next two weeks of listings and no sign of it at all. Sometimes living on the bottom of the world stinks I'm sure I'll see it sometime around 2009...

Hi Damon,

It isn't even playing on satellite?

PAV and Gull were mentioned and discarded.

[Ally]

According to Tivo, it is going to be replayed on History Channel on Tuesday at 11pm.

[sdreid]

Thanks Ally. That will be 10 pm CDT and it will be repeated again 4 hours after that I see.

Hey Stan

I'm on the local broadcast feed, which I believe comes out of Australia, possibly after Asia has finished with it, and I suspect is generally a wee bit behind the rest of the world, as usual.

If it's any clue, I just saw the Vic Reeves one for the first time a couple of weeks ago...

But it's so pretty here, and the air is clean, and we're not at war with anyone...

I see that the Unsolved Mysteries program is playing every weekday afternoon/evening for two hours on Spike TV now. It looks like new graphics, new host, new narrator and old segments with some updates. A great show with some classic unsolved cases although I don't think JTR ever made it.

[sdreid]

TruTV right now is doing the California Zodiac Case on Haunting Evidence. I imagine it will be replayed later tonight.

[sdreid]

Next Saturday, Sex and Lies in Sin City about the Ted Binion murder premiers on TV. It's a Lifetime Channel movie so don't get you hopes set too high.

The 1959 film Jack the Ripper is on AMC in the wee hours of this morning followed by the remake of Psycho.

The color remake of Psycho is on AMC this evening. I didn't really have as big a problem with it as some did.
