Could be interesting...could be a whitewash.

Will you watch it?

[iluvmargie]

No, won't be watching.

[jno]

pixie, it's not a documentary, it's a drama series. They're looking for someone to play the lead role.

[dannyk13]

No, the BBC will put their own slant on this.He should never be mantioned again for the sake of the assaulted boys and thair relatives.

[ummmm]

I find the mindset of these horrible people quite interesting.

Did he do so much charity work to get access to youngsters or did he do so much charity work to ease his guilt?

If all be true he had no boundaries. Abusing dead bodies!!! His strange relationship with his mother! Is he a product of nature or nurture?

Like someone said earlier....I couldn't watch him on TV....I found him very creepy, very weird.

[ummmm]

danny - it was mainly girls he abused.

[naomi24]

I'll watch it if only to see if the BBC conclude that 'lessons will be learned'. I doubt that though.

[jno]

naomi, to repeat, it's not a documentary, so it won't "conclude" anything. It's a drama mini-series, like the Nilsen one.

Ichkeria, Could you fix it?

[237SJ]

Yes I`ll watch it. Dennis Nilsen was an horrible character as well but I enjoyed watching Des on ITV.

[naomi24]

No need to repeat that, jno. I read it the first time. I just wonder if it will reveal the degree of ostrichitis (I made that word up) involved.

[ummmm]

Des was well acted.

[Sqad]

Yes,I shall watch it with interest.
It is a manifestation or an aberration of human behaviour and who knows,I might just learn something.
I also watched Nilson (Nielson).

[dannyk13]

Sqad, Nilson and Neilson are different persons.Dennis Neilson was the Black Panther.

[Sqad]

danny...LOL...quite, I now get easily confused.

[dannyk13]

Sqad//I now get easily confused.//
Happens to us all :-)

[ummmm]

Nilsen. His name Was Dennis Nilsen.

[ichkeria]

“Ichkeria, Could you fix it”

Could I fix what?

I don’t see that the fact it’s a drama by the way means it can’t have insight or be instructive.

[Mamyalynne]

As shallow as it sounds I shall decide better when I know who will portray him in the Drama.

Tennant did a great job with Nilsen, chilling.

[dannyk13]

Mea culpa- Donald Neilson.

[ummmm]

You still got Dennis Nilsen's name wrong :-)
