I never feel comfortable with documentaries like this, especially as it is all so Immediate and Raw.
Everyone seems to understand the context, but no one appears to know any facts. All of us seem ready to run with an interpretation, a fantacy, of events that satisfies our own mind and prejudices - I know I have one, one that I only dare discuss with the wife.
I can't honestly see what is to be gained - I doubt anything said will alter my, or most peoples, sense of what might have happened.
These things inevitably reduce to being criticisms of Local Legal and Local Police practices, as though if it happened in the UK we'd be more on the Ball.
The Millie Dowler docu-drama, with Martin Clunes, shown recently, being a case in point - human beings making mistakes, making assumptions that were not warranted, inefficient processes, rivalaries and ambition.
The Millie Dowler docu-drama did have the advantage that it all ended well with Bellfield being caught, so there was a beginning and an end, hence it was good docu-drama. But I suspect there'll be no closure with the Madeline McCann case, so what might be the point?
