Poor thing. I tried to watch his tragic show here in Oz and lasted less than 10 minutes. Local real life crime shows are ten times better than this oaf.

Two trials, three jailhouse snitches, a four-part documentary series – and still no evidence

In July and August, ITV gave the former Thames Valley Police officer, Mark Williams-Thomas, an astonishing transmission time of four hours to conduct an inquiry into the case of Russell Causley, whose wife Carole disappeared in 1985. Well, it was the summer holidays, the media’s silly season.

Here's another demolition, though from a different angle.

The Investigation that revealed nothing

The result was a series that revealed almost nothing, treating things that were already known as revelations, and appeared to be manipulated by Russell Causley, reading out letters ostensibly from him first confessing to the murder and detailing how he had done it, then changing that story, before finally retracting his confession. ... Williams-Thomas allowed himself to be manipulated by Russell Causley more than once, perhaps out of desperation to make a sensational and revelatory programme.
That was my impression too when I watched it. I also couldn't see the purpose of a multi-part TV "investigation" if it was only to reveal that the convicted party had confessed to it (what kind of victim of a miscarriage of justice would ever confess to the crime?), other than probing a lurid story and the daughter's wounds. I don't understand Bob Woffinden's argument that someone who committed a murder couldn't have botched an insurance scam.

If clichés were sneezes he would have the worst case hay fever ever recorded
