My review is in no way going to be as comprehensive as those that precede me as I feel are already more than adequate. I was, however, intrigued by the review of drywontonmee and his/her scepticism about the inclusion of the Leveson Inquiry...... maybe it was indulged promotion but maybe it was relevant to the timelines and the actual events that did follow!!
Whilst it states it is a drama based on real events, it doesn't go as far as to say how much is truth and how much is 'imagined or suggested' and which parties (if any) were consulted/involved.
I remember this case as I returned from living in the US for 6 months on 30th Dec 2010 and I remember the footage of Christopher Jefferies being taking into custody. What I had no awareness of was his subsequent release or the subsequent conviction of Vincent Tabak, nor of the efforts of Mr Jefferies to clear his name and defamation of character and so, I am glad that I watched this which set the record straight in addition to enjoying it as a drama on TV.
