They were talking about a third part but not sure where it is at with that or advancements in the story. Near the end of Part 1. Harrowing stuff, it really is. An more obvious case of framing you'll struggle to find, orchestrated by utter scumbags. Individuals that should be nowhere near law enforcement.The only glimmers of satisfaction are the fleeting instances where the ***** are flustered. Its so bad at times I'm thinking they are all actors and Avery isn't really banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Who Stole The World Cup? I watched this on channel 4 tonight. If all that was said was true, it was quite a ridiculous crime caper from both the small time thieves involved and the police in London. The narrator had quite an annoying Cockney accent, but it was a remarkable story, especially for those of us old enough to remember Pickles the dog.

The family knew all all the guy wasn’t their son and simply went with it because they knew fine well who killed their son. The whole thing was ****ed up.

Fitzroy Pointon Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Dublin Narcos on Sky Documentaries. A brilliant look into the Dublin drug scene. First part focuses on the heroin epidemic of the late 70s/80s, the second the ecstasy scene and the third cocaine in the 90s. It really is well made with great interviews and footage.

Samuel Camazzola Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 A few years old now "After The Screaming Stops". Documentary following Matt and Luke Goss (Bros) and their Réunion to perform a one-off gig a few decades after they last performed. Worth a watch for nostalgic reasons. Some humorous scenes.

JFK-1 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 On 03/03/2021 at 12:20, been here before said: The World At War. Classic of the genre some of which are available on YouTube. This is episode 2 of 26, I have primed it to begin with Chamberlain telling the nation we are now at war with Germany. Even as a child I could grasp the gravitas and almost a hint of desperation in his voice as he told the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) This was a great documentary. It was free to watch on freevee and on Netflix . Its about the great magician James Randi. I have always loved magic tricks and conjuring and he was a legendary magician. He also exposed charlatans who preyed on vulnerable people pretending they were psychics. He also exposed the fraudulent Uri Geller too. The doc is a fascination insight into his life. He came out as gay at 81 years old as he was frightened to do so before , sadly Edited May 29, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) “ Audrey ; more than an icon” Engrossing documentary about this great human being . Beautiful inside and out . She was actually from almost aristocracy but then the family lost everything . She suffered hunger and malnutrition in war torn Belgium before the country was liberated. She never forgot this trauma but she had a positive outlook stating that these childhood experiences can either make you bitter or be the making of you and you embrace life . She did the latter . A great actress , fashion icon and later in life felt it was more rewarding to be an international ambassador for UNICEF than a film actress . She raised millions for hungry children . Sadly she died relatively young at 63 . Edited July 14, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly she died relatively young at 63 . I don't know much about Audrey Hepburn but I have read a lot about WW2 which is how I learned that while she was born in and grew up in Belgium, when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 her family left Belgium for the the Netherlands. They were thinking of WW1, they were thinking sooner or later either the Germans or the British/French are going to come through here trying to get at each other, exactly what happened in WW1. So they went to the Netherlands which had remained neutral in WW1 and which they were thinking would retain that neutrality, a safe place. Unluckily for them the Nazis didn't give the proverbial flying about neutrality, the war came to them in May 1940 and they did indeed starve during that final war winter of 1944. The great Dutch famine of 1944-45 Quite an ordeal for a young girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four part series about the events leading up to, and the attempted NASA cover-up after, the infamous Shuttle disaster. It's genuinely brilliant.
