PaulT Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If you have access to BBC iPlayer then there were two dramas on BBC1:On Wednesday evening - The Robbers TaleOn Thursday evening - The Police TaleWhich I thought were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCCMB Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Had he lived to see it, he would probably have been furious that it demonstrated quite clearly (and factually) how much of a bit-part he actually played in the whole thing. Indeed, his name was hardly mentioned throughout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Which begs the question: why was his death the lead item on BBC radio and tv news reports?For such publicity being given to this worthless wretch is beyond comprehension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 A journalist was interviewed and he said that RB was incredibly charismatic and charmed both men and women, even hardened journalists. He obviously had 'something' about him or he would not have retained all the interest the press had in him for so very very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If that is so then it speaks volumes about the nature of journalism and the values of journalists.His death was not the most important event in Britain on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If that is so then it speaks volumes about the nature of journalism and the values of journalists.To me it speaks more about what sells newspapers and what the public want to read (biggest selling newspaper in the UK??). Another good reason not to encourage them by buying one.Have seen the first programme as a family, enjoyed it, although for todays generation the sums involved did not seem great until you adjust for inflation.
