The 'fly on the wall' documentary that was on last night about it.

A few post articles about it:

I've just started to watch the programme.

I know I shouldn't worry about basic errors but, at the beginning of the second part, mention is made of the killer's 75-year-old boyfriend - yes 75. Then he's referred to as about her own age (30s) and married with a child!

What amazed me about this program was the speed (4 days) they got DNA results, phone records for multiple phones and find the car. I've followed one particular case in the US that has equally inept perps but even 14 months on they are still waiting for some/all DNA results never mind made any arrests.

And it amazes me that these criminals used their own phones in the final planning stages and kept the "burner" phone used on the day. Also a complete lack of CCTV awareness.

Not sure if that was a mistake or a reference to the married 75 year old's own child in their 30's? Williams definitely had been going out with him since she was 17. The most odd thing was Kit's claim she was staying with this 75 year old too when booked in at the police station!

Thank you TTWO, I misunderstood what was said.

He certainly sounds like an energetic character for his age!

Presumably Kit was staying with him and his wife in their home - how strange but then again, perhaps not as strange as the wife apparently knowing all about the affair.

For those who enjoyed this programme,a new series starts on Thursday at 9 pm on ITV 'The Detectives : Inside The Major Crimes Team ' is by the same people that made the Sadie Hartley documentary and the three episodes feature the work of Lancashire Constabulary major crime team

Thanks, PMR.

I'll be watching that (well I probably won't if it's on Thurs eve - but I'll certainly record it).

Just googled some more info on it:

I suspect that this is what they had gone to film when they ended up filming the Sadie Hartley documentary
