It might be interesting as it promises to discuss what it is that has made this case unique.

However, with Martin Frizell presenting it, there is no chance that any difficult questions will be asked about the involvement of the McCanns and their friends.

I don't know who the guy is, but the one who said "shameful" hit the nail on the head.  He could also have added 'ignominious'.

Thank you chrissie. I'll no doubt be drawn to it like a moth to a flame - however I will have a sick bucket at the ready!

In reality, same here!

Brace yourselves for the umpteenth massive dose of 'Kate and Gerry are innocent!'

why is this programme being shown when there is an ongoing police investigation.  why does any feel they have to make such a programme.  I saw a bit about the monstering of the mccanns and turned it off.  some people are disgusted with the McCs because they allegedly left 3 children alone in a dark apartment in a foreign country at risk, and without adequate care and protection (otherwise im sure madeleine would not have disappeared) whilst they went out on the lash.

I find it incredible that so much time is given to people who freely admit leaving children in this way.  why what else could be so awful theyre happy to say and continue saying this.  just asking

quite. it's not the who, the what, the where or the when that's important. it's the why.

I also avoid watching the mccanns. It demonsrates that the UK media is supporting the lies of the mccanns. We know the mccanns have told lies, even to their parents coz we have the video proof on the Richard D Hall DVDs showing the parents telling all and sundry about the shutters.

I think there wasn't any checking done at all and the neglect had to be claimed to make the abduction claim. Who in their right mind would be nipping back to check on the children every few minutes when they could have had them in buggies with them? There are witnesses that saw the mccanns in Chaplins on the Tuesday night, one was a friend of Mrs. Fenn who was interviewed on Antenna 3 TV and also the staff from OC who went to find the mccanns to tell them about the children having been crying for over an hour. Chaplins is 800 metres from 5A.

AS with the woeful S & S book, as with all McCann-approved media products - this one is no exception - the blurb tells you everything you need to know.

Therefore my schedule for Tues 18th Nov now looks like this:

1) MORNING: buy tin of paint.
2) AFTERNOON: paint something.
3) EVENING: watch it dry.

I fear my poor old blood pressure would not stand another dose of McCann propaganda from their sycophantic luvvies in the meeja. It would be Frizelled to a frazzle.

For those who may be interested, a reminder that this programme is on Channel 5 tonight at 7pm.

Thanks for that, Chrissie. We shall be watching Channel 4 News at that time. I'll leave those who can bear it to sum up what the 'show' tells us... or doesn't.

Madeleine McCann: A Global Obsession: Madeleine campaign gets 'favouritism', claims father of missing Norfolk boy



The father of a seven year-old boy who has been missing for 11 years has claimed that the parents of Madeleine McCann have received “favouritism” over the campaign to find their daughter.

Norfolk Police launched an extensive hunt for Daniel Entwistle, of Great Yarmouth, who failed to return to his home on May 4 2003, four years to the day before the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal.

Daniel was captured on a local shop’s CCTV and his bike was found near a local quay, leading to a river bed search. But he remains missing 11 years on and the case faded from the headlines.

David Entwistle, Daniel’s father, questioned the resources and media attention which the McCann case still receives, seven years after her unresolved disappearance.

“I’ve got 110% respect for Madeleine. I hope she does get found but I can’t understand why they’re in the paper every couple of days,” Mr Entwistle told Channel 5 documentary, Madeleine McCann: A Global Obsession, which airs Tuesday night.

He added: “Feels like to me it’s favouritism because they’re up there and they’re always…they’re campaigning, they’re getting money here, there and left right and centre.”

Contributors to the programme claimed that the disparity was because the McCanns were a “middle-class family” who were able to successfully “market” their family tragedy.

Judy Bachrach, Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair who covered the case and interviewed the McCanns, said: “Gerry McCann (father) made it his business to, as he put it me in an interview with me, ‘Market his child.’ He called it the ‘Marketing of Madeleine McCann’ and this, of course, was the act of a very desperate father. I cannot tell you that it worked perfectly, it worked very imperfectly but it worked.”

Ms Bachrach added: “They were told by child abduction experts ‘If you cry on television…the kidnapper might get off on that.’ Horrible though that sounds, so she (Kate, mother) had to keep a stoic face on television. She couldn’t weep, she couldn’t look distraught and so she looked kind of like a robot.”

Matthew Parris, the Times columnist, told the programme: “Middle class people are better at arousing interest and at keeping attention focused. Sometimes they have the levers at their disposal that working class people don’t.”

Journalist Martin Bright said: “If you’re a missing person, you shouldn’t be a boy, black or working class. I find it very worrying that journalists and editors go down the route of being particularly selective about the missing children that they focus on.”

Martin Frizell, GMTV editor at the time of the Entwistle and McCann cases, who narrated the documentary, admitted: “ The police investigation continued (into Daniel Entwistle) but after a few days and with no donations and no PR campaign, there was nothing new to report so we, and the rest of the media, quietly stopped covering it. It’s the nature of news that other stories were developing at the time. Eleven years on, Daniel’s still missing.”

Michael Cole, PR advisor to Mohamed Al Fayed, said of the negative media coverage that McCanns subsequently received: “The monstering of the McCanns by the British media is one of the most shameful episodes of the British free press. It should not have happened. Perhaps it was the heat of the Algarve sun or the fact that they were a long way from Fleet Street, though a collective madness seemed to afflict the whole of the British Press corp.”

In 2008, the McCanns accepted £550,000 libel damages and front-page apologies from Express Newspapers over false allegations that they were responsible for Madeleine’s death.

Hi comperedna, I don't think it will tell us much at all.

I notice Daniel's father is quoted as saying:  "I've got 110% respect for Madeleine........"  which compares to the 0% the McCanns have for her.

I fail to see how it was proven that they were not responsible.

It wasn't - The express backed down and paid up.

So it's martin frizzells programme...I presume everyone knows he's married to the lovely Fi Fi .....grrr

So their friend who phoned GMTV said they checked at 8, then 9 and then 10..... So that's where the story differs from the most recent version

Am I on my own? !
