Ticketing Scammer on BBC iPlayer is an interesting watch. About a guy called Miles Hart scammed £1m of Glastonbury tickets in 2024.

Just watching The Man In The Mask : An Orkney Murder on Iplayer. It’s a new 3 part series on a crime that took place in 1994. Intriguing so far.

Anyone watch The Carman Family Deaths on Netflix?

I just watched it and it's Interesting. I do think he did them all though.

Same. I first came across it many years ago on a Scottish TV show called Unsolved presented by Alex Norton from Taggart - they used to show it almost on a loop on Crime & Investigation. Anyway, a lot of the cases featured have since been solved - this one included.

What's your point

Just watched the new 2 part series on Netflix about The Fox (serial rapist and burglar from the 80s) one of my earliest memories is him carrying out an attack local to where I grew up and being absolutely terrified because my dad was screwing windows shut and barricading doors.

I plan to watch that this weekend.
I do remember the feeling of utter terror in the 80s all around Peter Sutcliffe and every time my mum went out in the evening (which wasn’t often due to fear ) and my dad picking her up - he had a friend in Leeds who’s company reinforced the floor at Millgarth police station due to the weight of the evidence coming in.
Hideous times.

I'm watching the BBC documentary surrounding the murder of Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood. Just starting part 2. I've enjoyed every documentary on iplayer in recent times that has had a Scottish focus.

If you have the channel BBC Scotland (it might be called BBC Alba) they show some good documentaries

There's a programme on Really at 10pm called Inside the arrest. I have Sky stream and can watch the previous episodes. One of those was Thomas Cashman. I've heard that tonight's episode is about a local case

Just finished Death Cap: The Mushroom Murders on Netflix. Had already watched a YouTube doc on this case but thought this one was really well done and showed a huge amount of respect to the victims.

Just saw a trailer on Sky Crime for a new documentary called Murder At The Post Office. All epsiodes available tomorrow (not sure how many there are)

I followed this case at the time and I have talked about it before on Tattle. I won't say too much now but I will watch with interest to see what they try and do with it - I've already shouted at the trailer

However, what I will say is that the Horizon evidence, and apparent basis for this programme, was not the critical lynchpin he and his legal team seem to think it was in my opinion. And you don't actually need a motive to prove a case - juries just like them.
