How many more of these two or three part murder/mystery unsolved documentaries are there going to be, when all they do is inform everything already known with no conclusion at the end (it finishes with two possible scenarios of who murdered Jill).

There is a no doubt it is well produced with interviews from colleagues, friends and family, but is ploddy at best. The 2019 1-hour BBC Documentary is superior, concise and more watchable.

As with the Suzy Lamplugh unsolved disappearance (who coincidentally disappeared from roughly the same area) the Metropolitan Police named their killer with mostly circumstantial evidence, and have wasted time and resources, while not exploring other avenues. The Barry George suspect story is so well know in the UK I'm surprised the producers devoted so much time to it.

The documentary confirms it is yet another unsolved murder embarrassment for the London Met, 24 years old.

I thought this documentary was informative (having watched all previously mh370 documentaries) with some new interesting theories and possible cover-ups, but over-long at three 1-hour episodes.

The inclusion of Jeff Wise, an aviation journalist, was a complete waste of time, who talked about his own unfounded theories to the planes disappearance, quite a large part of the documentary was devoted to him, which was annoying and unnecessary.

Strangely Richard Godfrey, who is a leading investigator on the disappearance mh370, wasn't included in the three episodes (either in person or his work/theories), this was very odd, as he has the most up-to-date research and data.

Also Boeing or past-present Boeing 777 pilots, weren't featured, or asked their opinions.

There has been two Suzy Lamplugh documentaries produced in the last couple of years from Sky and Channel 5, both using footage from productions twenty years previous and older, interviews with original detectives with their unchanged 1986 theories, one documentary being stretched 2 episodes and another 1.5 hours long. No new theories or information have been explored whatsoever in either.

Unfortunately Channel 4 have not "bucked the trend" and produced an almost identical production to Sky and Channel 5, which is a waste of an hour.

It is quite amusing how Emilia Fox and Professor David Wilson, seem to be discovering new information, when it is a obviously scripted.

The Police have hung on to a John Cannan abduction for over 20 years, even though there is only circumstantial evidence that he abducted Suzy.

An interesting fact, which has not been used since an early documentary/crimewatch appeal: The ONLY person to positively identify Suzy on the day she disappeared, was a friend Barbara Whitfield, who saw her driving north up the Fulham Palace Road in her car with a man. ALL the other witnesses involved couldn't positively identify her!
