The Pembrokeshire Murders

I used to cash his cheques and those of the judge John Griffith Williams when I worked at Natwest bank in Park Place (now sadly a cafe) when they were both young barristers.

Both charming gentlemen. Both by reputation fearsome to face in court

I have it on good authority that strangers arent welcome.

Lol
I live down this way and I am more than welcoming to strangers, particularly if they have boobies like Toyah. 😀

They did stick to the same words that were actually spoken at the time.

There are people out there, still alive, who were all consulted, before this was aired.

Watch, The Making of the Pembrokeshire Murders tonight, it might just change your mind

Excellent viewing

PS:—-/ The actual leading officer was in the final scenes when the verdict was read out

I watched The Making of....this morning. Chilling seeing the real interviews and arrest taking place. The lasting impression is "one or the other". Of the two, the documentary was better. The dramatised version just didnt cut it for me, overall. I was comparing the acting/production of Hinterland and Pembs Murders. The former was far better IMHO.

I assume bits that would have been cut, was stretched out to pay for Luke Evans

Again, Hinterland wasn’t real and there were victims and victims families at home watching how events took place. It wasn’t acting as such, IT WAS REAL LIFE
