new sunday night drama………the moors murders….WHY???

I am going to watch it, as I stated earlier, mainly beacause it is being talked about so much and I don’t know all that much about it.

But no doubt I will be crying during it :?

GM – I doubt there is any parent on here who would let their kids watch it. Mine will be tucked up in bed by 7.30pm. :)

We all know Lamby that other crimes have been dramatised. I think tho that the general disgust of the majority of voters on this thread speaks for itself. No………I won’t be watching it.

This wasn’t just any murder of any child, not that one should be any less important than another, but it was the cruelty dealt out to these same children that people, including myself, find so abhorent. They didn’t just murder them, they destroyed lives and one of them at least, continues to do so. I know too that the parents of the victims, have given their consent. If it works for them, then all credit to them, i’m not about to critisise them for the choices they make.

What GM said brought a lump to my throat too Cath. Well said GM =D>

I won’t be watching it, personally, because i’d just find it upsetting that these evil people are still alive, and get the privilage of being FAMOUS for their crimes! :roll:

It’s always the murderers who get famous and go down in the history books.. never the victims.

But I’m not against them making it, i watched a yorkshire ripper documentry the other day, so i’d be a hypocrit if i was against making this dramatization

I didn’t see it Tom, but I did read Richard McCanns book, the first one, it was called ”Just A Boy”. For anyone who’s interested in the devastating effects it all has on family and children left behind it’s an excellent read, very touching, very eye opening too regarding the very people, ie., social workers, who were supposed to help. Seemed to me that the only person who had any help or notoriety, was Peter Sutcliffe. Not that these children wanted notoriety. What they wanted, needed even, seemed largely ignored.

he revels in the publicity hence the letters saying he’ll find the last body.. he has no intention of it just gets him back in the news.. kill the f*cker i say make him scream make him beg then shoot him.. if the jobs going i’ll take it

Then take away his publicity Pete. As far as the media are concerned tho it sells newspapers, but there should be someone who would be able to prevent him from doing this. Killing him isn’t the answer, his life blood is his notoriety, take that away and then you’d be making him suffer.
