Anyone watched this? I found it very powerful on many levels including what it says about our gutter tabloid press. Looking forward to the second part tomorrow

They didn't say how much compensation he received.

Brilliant acting - what a pleasure to watch such good drama.

I don't think I can add much to other posts, it was a great piece of drama
all round, and may add understanding of eccentric/Asperger type people to the general public and make them think twice before they judge a person in future. He was 'lucky' to have some good and influential friends otherwise he could have sunk without trace.Disturbing.It wasn't the eccentric but the 'nice normal' young man who was the monster.As is usually the case.

Anyone who missed this first time round or those who want to watch a fantastic actor and a true story, then tune in at 9 tonight on ITV. Superb, brilliant, brilliant actor.

Sorry, meant to say, those who want to watch this again. At last, something decent on a Saturday night.

Saw it the first time,excellent,I think he got best actor award,maybe wrong though.Proves you can't believe everything you read in the papers.

I was babysitting for my daughter last night and having got GS settled I flicked through to see what was on and found this programme - I remembered that I had wanted to see it when it first came out, but probably conflicted with sport of some sort or another! - anyway watched it and it was phenomenal! Any awards it was given were well and truly deserved in my opinion. Thought provoking and a bit frightening really but fortunately good came out of it The herb garden bit was sad though. Wrong word - should have used 'poignant'.
