Koh Tao makes it onto Channel 4 UK

[uksomchai]

I don't know if anyone there has had a heads up yet but I suppose it was only a matter of time. I don't watch a lot of TV back here but caught an ad during the F1 highlights for a program going out this wed at 8pm on Channel 4 . Murder in paradise. An investigation into the murder of Hannah and David. Depending on how they play it they could do an awful lot of damage to the islands, not just Koh Tao. It should be interesting to watch for those that can use the catch up on the internet

Hope someone records it and puts it on YouTube for posterity.

Very good. The more exposure shown to the homicidal weasels on that island, the better.

It's a pity they waited until the start of low season before broadcasting. Let's hope they repeat it in time to disrupt Xmas bookings.

I am hoping the documentary clarifies the inconsistencies in the evidence.

[uksomchai]

The reports we are getting in the UK press at the moment are certainly highlighting them. I just hope that this is the same in the film. We shall see tonight.

[Gulfsailor]

Isn't this the same production that already aired two months ago on Channel News Asia, whom they made it together with? In that case it can also be viewed online already. And if so, it didn't come up with anything new, it just highlighted some inconsistencies and remaining questions.

This production is not sanitised, but I guess it won't break new ground, just ask more questions and highlight inconsistencies in the investigation.

Possibly as they have the same name? Anyway it's just dropped onto kat (MV Group) so I'll let you know soon...

[taninthai]

Watched it last night nothing exciting did not give any more info than what you can read on here, was surprised to see Mon giving an interview.

Google :- murder in paradise ch4, Scroll down, Option 5, Open Mag, Wait, Watch 720

[GanDoonToonPet]

Largely the same as the other one but more slick, edited differently & covered a bit more material as was longer. Very well done I thought & glad it didn't go down the TV / CSI madcap conspiracy route...

Notice, when Mon says he and his nephew weren't involved, see how Mon's eyes flick twice, sharply to the left. He makes Nixon look like an honest man.

The problem I have with Channel 4 documentaries: They start with the assumption that Thai authorities are trying to find who did the crimes. That's naive. Everything Thai authorities have said and done indicates they are trying desperately to not find the real perps. Channel 4 should make another documentary, and start from scratch. They should frame it from the premise of: Who really did the crime? Talking to Thai authorities will only yield diversions, obfuscations, denials and lying. I suggest: Talk to people who know what happened (and/or can connect the dots) and who are seeking truth and justice. Talk to knowledgeable people who have experience with deciphering crime scenes, and who don't have an agenda to shield the real perps. Hint: that's not the RTP or Mon.
