    Great Drama
    I had never heard of either Christopher Jefferies or the other people involved in the murder of his neighbour but then I don't read UK Tabloids.

    Christopher Jefferies, is from the start, an unusual man.

    When a female neighbour is murdered it appears that the police find no alternative other than to make him the prime suspect. He has (1) a Donald Trump style hair do (2) is correct (3) doesn't watch television and so is unaware of 'Strictly Come Dancing' and other elements of pop-culture and (4) speaks in a stilted fashion.

    When he is arrested, he deals with the police questions with dignity. Of course, if he had had the natural reaction, they would have considered this evidence of his violent nature.

    The performance echoed, for me, Toby Jones performance in 'Marvellous', of another unusual character.

    The way that the media treats somebody that catches their focus becomes a huge part of the story. We could all have our lives turned inside out if newspapers printed photos of us next to headlines saying how odd we were.

    Its unfair that people who are slightly odd (as we all are ) are so easily judged.

    A thought provoking drama I'm glad I watched.
