Murder by the Sea

It sounds like there is an orchestra tuning up in the background. It is difficult to hear what is being said. Please stop the loud music in TV programmes, we usually get fed up straining to hear and turn over.

Always loved this series, always liked Geoffrey's forthrightness. But my god talk about bias from the start. Only in my opinion of course. But surely the woman had a choice in it. They had a child together for heaven sake.

Everything after that was obviously was wrong.

I thought this might be better but they've still got pregnant pause Tim Tate. It just starts to get annoying so I will turn off. Much better when he was not in it when Geoffrey Wansell presented.

There are much better series like 24 Hour in Police Custody which knocks spots of Murder by the Sea.

I don't think I really have much more to say about this programme other than they could have done so much better with some more interesting experts contributors. The police and those investigating the crime itself always come across very well and in this particular series they are so much more interesting and better than the other cast.

Great (first 5) series about murder cases from late 19th century onwards that occurred in British seaside resorts and coastal towns. Through recreated flashbacks & interviews with various respected crime experts, each episode is presented by best-selling true-crime author & dandy, Geoffrey Wansell. He gives a knowledgeable, intelligent, incisive & well-researched narration as he guides us through each case. Alas, the last 3 series have been awful: presented by dull Nell Darby who frequently misses details when drawing her obvious conclusions delivered in uninspiring & dreary fashion. A great pity.

I am disgusted with the presenters description of both the island and the islanders. Sanday, pronounced, Sandy, is not a dark, infertile, inhospitable island. The islanders are not uncooperative and secretive and suggestion that all incomers had moved there because they were running away from something is diabolical. I suggest that the people involved in the production get their facts straight. The main island in the group is called Mainland, the main town is Kirkwall. I was on island, visiting at the time of the investigation. I lived there for more than 20 years, so I have a fair insight into island life.
