I don't know how to feel about these dramas based on real life tragedies and crime.
I know the parents were fully involved in the making of Little Boy Blue but I wonder how they are impacted by repeats? This series could be shown many, many times.
Sean Mercer, the youth who murdered Rhys, deserves no sympathy and is still in prison. But what about his family? Has he brothers, sisters? Does showing this drama again affect their lives? Stir up antagonism?
All in all I think I prefer my drama to be fictional.

Another factual drama well worth the time is the recently aired 'The Salisbury Poisonings'. Almost gave it a miss as I believed I knew most of what occurred, and, having happened only 2 years ago, it was still quite fresh in my mind. What I didn't realise - despite reading almost every press report at the time - was just how much of Salisbury had to be shut down because of the Novichok.
educating rita (*) was issued in two versions - julie walters doing her home grown west kairby accent
and one in London english - in which no one noticed a scouser talking scouse in an RP accent - that Branwell Bronte - he was really mental - - - etc
Little Boy Blue is good draymer. They all speak like that oop t North (the phrase is accurate). A 'pule Bizzy ( that is a policeman who main nick was Liverpool somewhere) said it was OK - but the main character wasnt like that
The boy called Latch was a composite
but rang true - beaten up by his class inc one Sean Mercer and didnt go out of the house for two years ....
so Sean Mercer selected him to hide the gun
durrrr bound to end in tears
oh, altho the copy right was a year or so after the case - it was obvious that the script had been changed
Mercers appeals had been turned down
The credits said the father had left the mother and in the replay said they were back together again
and finally they said that the parents had seen it and judged it to be a fair representation.
(*) screams from the usual suspects - what dat den etc ?

oh stephen graham who is also from West Kairby
I sm not sure if he does his tee vee sofa interviews in a scouse accent. The answer may be yes if he is oop t North
he was also Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire and went home ( to west Kairby ) and promptly got beaten up in a pub
his doleful comment was - the drinkers in west kairby cant tell the difference between an american gangster and an actor
NB Kairby isyour first scouse waird - it is spelt Kirby.
k should be the ch in loch - but that is lesson two

I saw it first time round and thought it one of the best of that sort of drama ie recreating a true event. The conflicts of the people involved - loyalties- fear - "doing the right thing" wasverywell portrayed.
And Emmie I'm not deaf but I have subtitles on a lot. People seem to speak twice as fast these days!

details -- you are spoiling some very good stories
AB as you know day after day is no stranger to BS
presumably Mercer thought he could pull a Stephen Lawrence
and so did the Police !
the bit with these drive bys I have never 'got 'is
they are doing it to show they are the big men and everyone should know it
and then when the Bizzies ask - are you the big man, did you do it
they say no no I am only very little
