It was a bit of a puff piece, really. Belinda Brewin even said she wasn't going to get into all that when asked about Bob and Paula, so it wasn't going to delve into the seedier side of Paula's life. I'm glad about that, because she isn't here to stick up for herself.
I was a big fan of hers when I was at school and I remember when she was in HIGNY and it was awful, I remember watching it and feeling deeply uncomfortable, there was lots of misogyny that I was too young to unpick at the time.
The one exchange in the documentary that upset me was when she was on Ian Wright's show, after Michael Hutchence's had died and she was flirting with Ian and then she caught herself in the moment and her whole face changed and you could see the pain. Very sad.
I wonder if Bob regrets his behaviour around that time, he was awful. I'm not saying Paula was innocent but he could have helped her more, she was the mother of his children and her spiral triggered a chain of events that led to his daughter's death. So sad, all of it
