The British Airways Killer

Very muddled, choppy presentation of the horrific events. Instead of following a time line of events, there were news items, announcements from a later date thrown in all over the place. Over powering background (!)music which played loudly and intrusively over dialogue. At times had to put subtitles on to understand what was being said. Surely background music, should be just that. Felt that it was very loud and ruined any atmosphere. There was a lot to commend the production and the interviews with family and friends were very good. Please in any future productions do without the loud intrusive 'music' it ruins it!

Loving mum Joanna Simpson has a whirlwind romance when airline pilot Robert Brown, very quickly she realises she's made a mistake. Jo ends the relationship, but an an angry Brown kills her. At court, Brown claims diminished responsibility.

I think it's a well made, intriguing and slightly shocking documentary. It's one that baffles and enrages me, the fact that a total narcissist can bring in a defence of diminished responsibility, it is insane.

Some very interesting interviews, it's a little bizarre in such a documentary to hear those accents, you just don't hear such wonderful Rap accents anymore, does it perhaps make the story even more shocking to know that the victim was from Windsor, and that her so called husband was an airline pilot. Brown would have earned a salary that most people would dream of, clearly he was fuelled by greed.

The fact that Brown was an airline pilot, that's what makes the story so unfathomable, if anyone is able to deal with stress, a pilot surely.

Jo's wonderful mum, Diana Parkes, made it her mission to fight for justice, this ridiculous situation where a twenty year sentence actually means ten years, it has never made any sense.

7/10.
