Panned out but an interesting watch

These real crime stories generally last for about 45 minutes of film when itv make them to accompany their TV drama stories so 67 minutes is a bit of a struggle, panning out the story with interviewees seemingly told to talk slowly and methodically to fill in the time.

It's z well known story. It happened in thd summer of 1992. With parliament in recess, news programmes grabbed a hold of the story.

Channel 4's drama "Deceit" starring thd appealing Niamh Algar and Eddie Marsan was a great watch but this story makes indirect disparaging remarks about the drama and others, trying to make this to be the defacto story.

Colin Stagg's name is probably better known than the actual murderer so, hopefully, the more the story is told then the more the real story will be told.

The facts are here but they could be told much more quickly.
