Im damned if I want to watch anything 'through the eyes of' a social worker.
Let alone this extremely well-covered story.
.. and who would want to play Fred West? Someone very skint with a lot of bills to pay?

[emmie]

i won't be watching, just reading some of reports of what they did, makes me feel sick.

[shaneystar2]

I don't think Dominic West is short of dosh but I won't watch it never the less .

I'll stick with George Gently tonight :)

[jackthehat]

I am taping this episode and the next and then shall watch both together.

[Quassia]

Albags,
I've just seen the trailer & it looks very good! Awful story as it's based on fact, but still unmissable I think!

[Bobbisox]

nope, won't be watching it

[ummmm]

I'll be watching...

[Quassia]

Controversial subject, but it happened! Not for the squeamish though .. I'll see how it goes ..

The story isn't through the eyes of a social worker, it's some woman who volunteered to be a prisoner's advocate (or similar)(which people do) and found herself assigned to Fred West - she says it's affected all her life since.
I've no interest to watch it, I just read that in the newspaper.

[boxtops]

^ yes then, she is a SW, but I don't think she was allocated to Fred because of her job.

[mccfluffy]

Im watchingt

[sara3]

I'll be watching, too.

[AlBags]

Well this story has literally been played to death so far as I'm concerned.
Every time something like this is written and screened, the families of the dead and assaulted have to go through ALL the garbage over again.
Don't you think the story should die, instead of creating revenue, sales and so-called new drama for ITV?

[looobylooo]

thanks for that quassia! i didnt know it was on.
and yes, i'll be watching it, if not, taping it anyway.

... i dont think we say 'taping it' these days do we? lol ...
ok, i will be recording it, or even better, i will be sky plussing it! ;o)

An appropriate adult is someone who sits in police interviews with minors or those who are suspected of having mental issues. it is voluntary and you just get called in by plod when they have someone they need to interview with an AA present.

I shall put it on.

[hc4361]

I will not be watching this. Those victims did not die for our tv amusement or entertainment.
Wrong on every level.

[Barmaid]

Sorry Boxy - must make mental note not to do something else halfway through posting a response!!!! Yours wasn't there when i started!

[emmie]

whilst the story is dredged up again, and what do the West children make of it, no one seems to think it might affect them.

[Quassia]

Albags,
I understand what you are saying. I wonder if the victims families were consulted beforehand?
