Horizon 8th May

Does anyone know if the plastic autopsy model featured in Tuesday's Horizon (about the perfect murder) was based on a real person?

If yes, then Mrs Mushroom would very much like to meet him - if you saw the programme you'll know why!! (I definitely came over all inferior....)

I saw it, know what you mean wow!!

Being, evidently, centuries older than you two ladies I didn't particularly notice how gorgeous he was, but I thought the programme itself was magic - and I found him astonishingly realistic!
I shall also be a great deal more careful when I commit my 'perfect murder', now!
Actually it seems a bit pointless if I'm honest. Reading between the lines it looks like the only chance you've got of getting away with it is if you kill someone you don't know - and where's the logic in that? Blimey, I'm sure we've all got a list of candidates ahead of 'the stranger'. Mind you ... there's always the 'faceless bureaucrat', and I'd love to get my hands on some of those 'all-our-administrators-are-busy-at-the-moment' voices, who then give you the same bit of music to listen to over and over again and keep you hanging on the phone at your expense forever.
Take my word for it, old age brings with it a burning urge not to wither and die on the end of the telephone waiting for a service you only hope to get, even though you're paying through the nose for it!!!!
