I have been watching this.....amazing like you say about how the evidence comes together.......As for Ray Terret, I really do believe he though he could get away with it....I found him constantly having bits of paper, handkercheifs and other things in his mouth.......

The lady who came forward at first, and could even describe the drawings on the wall and the vivid memory of the flat and that of the bedroom where so disturbing....She had and others such courage throughout her life to live with this and also through the trial..........

I am watching Ann, fascinating ...last one tonight. The most shocking thing for me was to see how after all the years had passed it still had a huge effect on the victims.

he always had something hanging out his mouth - something to partially hide his face presumably

I have to keep reminding myself that this is not fictional.

it just thought it was amazing that after forty years there was hard evidence for all to see

It sounds very interesting, but, having seen the content, I didn't think I could watch that.

just me then?

he had a record shop in Manchester with a flat above where he lured schoolgirls and raped them - that was forty years ago and you might think it couldn''t have been proved. However, three of his victims independently described the flat and added that there was a wall which had the names and phone numbers of girls written all over it. The record shop and the flat above are now privately owned - two flats. The police went there with a professional decorator and steamed the wallpaper off in the flat and there on the wall was exactly what was described, including the name of the first girl saying "Cath was here" and the date she was there - he was charged with thirty odd counts of sexual assault - the last in the series is tomorrow night. The detectives all deal with sexual assaults and you see other rapists being tracked and caught and their actual interviews

anyone else watching this? fascinating - you see actual interviews - they are interviewing Saville's mate, DJ Ray Terret over numerous rape charges and they have him banged to rights but he doesn't know that yet
