A Difficult Watch
13 October 2022
I felt very uncomfortable while watching this ,well aware of the backlash that channel 5 were getting .

It was so hard to look at them both , without having that sick feeling that you get when you are repulsed by someone .

Perhaps it will help to keep us all reminded of the fact that there are evil people in this world , disguised in everyday jobs , in our towns and communities , and how easy it can sometimes be for them to slip under the radar.

Not for one minute ,did I find this in any way an easy watch , as I imagine everybody else did not either .

Jemma Carlton played the role very well,, a brave undertaking considering that she was a newcomer .

I did not like a lot of the scenes involving the journalists , it made me feel angry that tragedies like this are handled so insensitively by the press. For them, it's all about selling newspapers .

But , that is the reality of it .

Whether , this drama should have been made or not , I really cannot say, but I would imagine that everbody who watched it felt anger towards those two, and upset , and brokenhearted for Holly and Jessica's families.
