The Appropriate Adult
This is being shown on ITV this evening at 9pm -saw an interview on SKY with the director and thought it looked interesting. It stars Dominic West and Emily Watson and tells the story of the serial killer Fred West as seen through the eyes of a young social worker who was present at police interviews with him.
Probably not an easy tale to watch in some respects but the psycological aspect should be an eye-opener. We've been force-fed programmes like CSI for years and think we know all about these sort of things, but real-life is usually stranger than fiction. I'll have to wait till it's out on DVD i suppose....

re: The Appropriate Adult
Going to watch it.
Has had good reviews. Why can't you get British television? Can you, but it's expensive? I have friends on mainland Europe who watch it for free. Though they might be doing so illegally.

re: The Appropriate Adult
I think the programme's going to make the point, despite what's been published in recent books, that Rose wasn't an innocent victim, but an equal participant in these horrendous crimes.
Apparently they are to broach the subject that she was a victim of incest, carried out by her father, and grandfather. Of course all victims of child abuse don't go on to be abusers themselves. Though with her start in life you can begin to understand why she became so evil. I firmly believe no one is born bad. Circumstances allow evil to fester, and then grow.

Though perhaps some people are more susceptibale. Rose West had siblings, presumably with a similar upbringing, who didn't go on to be serial killers.

re: The Appropriate Adult
Interesting article by the writer of Appropriate Adult, Neil McKay, and background information regarding Janet Leach.
Fred West: a glimpse of extreme evil | Television & radio | The Guardian Interesting angle, the appropriate adult's involvment. Emily Watson very good. Dominic West eerily like West, and underplays his evilness very well. Making him very ordinary. Best line - 'Well I had to close her eyes; You can't cut off a daughter's head when she's staring at you.' Interesting rather than sensationalist. Look forward to the concluding part.

I've watched Dicky's Son's Real Deals in the Vatican.
