Did anyone else get the feeling that by the end of this programme we were supposed to feel sorry for Hindley?


To me it seemed they played down her part and the bit where her sister visited her in prison actually made me squirm.

yeh it was horrible


i thought it ended up being mainly about the sister tho and not myra!!


it amazes me they havent been able to find the (hopefully) last body


No not at all, it was made to show how she can manimulate anyone and that after all she did her sister thought she could change. It just upset me that the sister died 7 years before Myra admitted that they had killed the other two children.

i missed the first bit of the programme, how did brady make her do what she did or was it the other way around?


it was a shame the sister died, i think her mum is still alive tho

Yeah get your point forgetmenot, but i was still uncomfortable watching the prison visiting scene.


It never explained really bellasasha how she got so involved in it- guess it's cause she loved him, or that was as evil as him anyway.


God knows!

I thought this too at first, but the programme was made from the sisters point of view, from her police statements etc. So if she knew her as a loving sister and aunt, then realistically that would be how she was portrayed

I certainly didn't feel that we were expected to feel sorry for Myra Hyndley. I came away with the impression she was a very manipulative woman, very adept at covering things up, both for what Brady did and what she was involved in herself.


I felt especially sorry for the sister and her husband. They seem to have had a very bad time after Myra and Brady were arrested. They were treated like criminals themselves, even though they were the ones who "shopped" Myra and Brady. Who knows how many more children might have disappeared if they hadn't been brave enough to go to the police?

Yeah I felt sorry for the sister and her family as well. What happened at the end? It really confused me, when she went to get an eyeliner- was that her way of leaving them for good? Did she go back?


It would probably be quicker if I just looked on the net for that answer, but hey, im lazy!

i took it that they got back together and stayed together
Yer but she died at age 30

She died in either 1979 or 1980 and she was 34

No no! She walked out on her family. He brought the kids up with his second wife.

No - the actress played Hindley trying to be pious and sincere, pretending to her sister she had 'found god' and blaming her involvement with Brady with such a hard, insincere edge in her voice I think it was quite the opposite - played quite subtley. Then it was revealed that she had continued to lie about the other murders until the late 1980s. The purpose of the scene was to make sure the audienece had no sympathy with her, and to show how she continued to lie after being improsoned.
