Although I never met Peter Wildeblood and knew very little about the Montagu scandal - I met Edward Montagu several times - twice at the Longford Lectures which I attend each year; at a couple of parties recently (he was wheelchair bound last few years). It is quite amazing the story - so incredibly similar to what happened to me 17 years ago and has happened to hundreds since then, as I predicted. I could not believe it in 2000 and I find it just as hard today. Extraordinary. As I watch the George Pell drama unfold in Australia and the Cosby drama develop in America and the hundreds of sports coaches and soap opera stars get done here in the UK (and dozens get acquitted or charges abandoned) I wonder how Judges and the public and the media can take it seriously. The False Allegations Industry needs to be brought down. I would hope even those truly abused would agree.

Aversion Therapy! Has that been suggested for Vile Perverts yet?

Daniel Mays superb as expected; all in all - a decent, well made show. I wonder if I'll feature in a show in 2057? I hereby give permission for programme makers to use footage from my movies after I've gone.

You'd think those truly abused would be most likely to agree, but perhaps it's the opposite. If they've been abused themselves and are sitting alongside a bandwagon jumper telling a tearful story (as I am sure I once saw happening in a school case covered on Channel 4, given the person's past admission of making up stories for money and fluctuating story in other airings), why should they disbelieve them? Not only might they be more inclined than the average person to consider it inconceivable that anyone could lie about something like that but if they disbelieve them it might cause people to doubt genuine cases, including their own. I think the liars can effectively hold victims hostage: "believe me or they get it".

Good point Jo; I found in prison those truly guilty of whatever crimes they had committed were the most sceptical of innocent inmates complaining about miscarriages of justice.
