Lord Lucan: My Husband, the Truth

The story of Britain's most notorious aristocrat is well known to both people of a certain age and true crime buffs the world over, but here it is viewed through the eyes of the woman he attempted first to drive mad and then murder.

This in-depth interview with Lady Lucan was recorded the year before her death. Herein she describes in graphic detail how having murdered her nanny by mistake her estranged husband battered her over the head with the same blunt instrument but somehow she managed to fight off and temporarily overcome a desperate man twice her size.

We see too previously unbroadcast footage and hear of her terrible suffering of which she manages to make light.

Is he dead? Yes, she believes he committed suicide in the English Channel, an act she calls brave. It wasn't brave, it was decent, probably the only decent thing this worthless son of the privileged ever did in his entire life. But this documentary isn't really about him, rather it is a fitting tribute to a woman tragic and remarkable in equal measure.

"All of my relationships are cold" I can't get past that line. Hard to connect or feel anything for Ms Lucan. She seems a very lonely person, probably a product of living the life she has, but in same fashion incredibly snobbish and disconnected with how real people live, so it made it hard for me to care about her or anything she was saying- which is 90% of how this tale is told.

I feel sorry for her And at the same time she's very cold This Is a very unfortunate story of a family That never existed

This woman is completely devoid of what a mother should be. The story line is a typical murder mystery but she is dreadful. She has no idea as to how to be a loving mother or wife and goes through life thinking everyone else is to blame for her failures, pitiful.

She believes the fact her husband is OK with being a gambler, borrowing continuously to support his failures as a human being and she goes right along for the ride thinking everything is OK knowing they have no money but spend it like they do and she really believes she has done nothing wrong as far as being a horrible mother and a wife. Pathetic till the end.

I rated it a 7 because it is such an interesting story but as others have said, it is incredibly difficult to feel any sympathy for her. I really feel sorry for the children having such empty people as their parents.
