The Amazing Story of Jeremy
Bamber
Was this a balanced programme or just more tabloid TV?

I have just watched the documentary about Jeremy Bamber and
wonder why it wasn't postponed until the "evidence",
that he has discovered in the last two weeks, which he mentioned
is going to prove something or other, is available. All that
this programme did was reiterate already known facts and left
me wondering why the programme makers bothered to make it at
all. We all know it was either him or his sister who did this
terrible thing, but after an hour I'm still no wiser; nor did
I learn anything I didn't know an hour ago. I generally love
these sort of programmes, which go over old and sometimes long
forgotten crimes, and come up with a conclusive argument for
or against the guilt of the convicted. DNA testing has been
a "tool" which must frighten some people who committed
murders thirty years ago and thought that they had long got
away with their evil deeds and it's refreshing to see some of
them get their come-uppance after decades of "getting away
with it". This programme neither proved nor disproved his
innocence or guilt. Is Jeremy Bamber II, the sequel, being planned
and, if not, why not?

5 minutes of fact stretched out over an hour. I really wanted
to watch a programme prepared to look under every stone and
investigate all the evidence. Balanced? A pub landlord who said
Bamber was OK and a part-time prison teacher who said he was
evil personified. Poor. More time and money was put into the
reconstructions than the content, which simply glossed over
the case details. Superficial and dissappointing. Good music
though (but that's about it).

I thought the programme on Jeremy Bamber was a very balance
documentary. It explained in detail why he was arrested and
convicted. It also went into the reasons why his appeals have
been denied. It was done in a very factual way and in my opinion
was unbiased or tabloid sensationalism. Well done.
