ITV Tonight with Trevor Mc Donald - McCann Special

[what..the?]

Did anyone watch, this or record it, I cannot find it online to watch again.

There was a part in the show where a DNA expert was showing how DNA could be transfered to a car.

I got the impression the whole experiment was flawed as:

The teddy and glitter were already in the car to start with the guy then picked up the glitter pot with both hands then opened the pot and with one finger applied glitter to the palm of the other hand.

Then he put his hand back in the car to put the pot back and picked up the teddy in his hand to transfer the glitter.

He then passed the teddy to the lady who then put the teddy in the car.

The man then put both hands in the boot to move the teddy and then use the machine located in the boot to look up close at the fabric of the boot lining for glitter. To prove glitter than been transfered from the teddy to the boot from a 3rd person who had touched it i.e. him earlier with the glittered hands.

Is it me or was this whole experiment flawed because the glitter and teddy were is the car before they were not neces. clean and then the guy got glitter on both hands and then kept putting his hands back in the car all the time transfering it??? If the teddy and glitter were kept outside the car, the guy went no where near, and someone else tested the car boot after that would be a fair test!

i understand what you mean but the teddy started life on the parcel shelf and after he put glitter on it didnt he give it to the woman to put in the boot?

he then got it out of the boot by grabbing the back of the teddy but yet the glitter was where the teddy was lying?

you have got me thinking now?? /�(

Hmmm, you make a very good point, i did think about the teddy already being there but not about the other stuff, i get his point but yes it should have been a stricter test
