Anyone else here in Scotland watching this? (I'm sure it won't be shown down south!). It's a brilliant dramatisation of the Peter Manuel story. Martin Compston is excellent as the villain of the piece.
I caught this by accident, Aberdeen (Northants).......and so glad I did......brilliant and gripping.......Martin Compston is, as you say, excellent and scary.........x
What I find strange is that although Martin Compston was brought up in Greenock, there is something oddly unconvincing about his Glasgow (well, nearby) accent. Maybe he, like me, hasn't lived there for some time.
Very good. We are really enjoying it although a bit unsettling at times! Brilliant acting too. I've always Martin Compston as an actor. Intriguing stuff.
I'm right down on the south coast of England and watching it.
I was a child in Scotland at the time of the murders and vaguely remember his name being mentioned by grownups.
Excellent programme.
My husband , lived near where this happened , he was just a child at the time , but he remembers the family talking about it and how frightened people were.
