I watched it up til the last 30 minutes because I was nodding off. Will catch up on the end tonight. It's the first time I've watched this programme & I was fascinated by it.

Loved it. One of my favourite programs. Not going to comment further though as don't want to spoil it for Hellsbells
I must've missed that episode.

It was strange. Her friend died in her flat. She was so worried she'd get the blame, she borrowed her neighbours disability scooter to dump the body in the park.

Pretty much all episodes available on daily motion.

I'm afraid I find some of it very funny, more so because I know I shouldn't.
Police: Have you had anything to drink?
Suspect: I've had 4 litres of 5%.
Police: We're just going to pat you down.
Suspect: I should warn you I am going commando.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
When they shown the footage of him opening the door with the stethoscope round his neck I lost it. He even controlled his bloody dog!
That's one of the most fucked up episodes I've seen. It even beats them arresting one of their own.

And the “I’ll need to put some shoes on” and a shot of 100 pairs of manky trainers

But the way they were all lined up the stairs!!! He was very odd!
Yep. The coppers at the end saying he 'was in no way responsible' for her death weren't really looking beyond the final act itself. He was a very fucked up person and undoubtedly something of a psychopath. Of course that doesn't make him 'guilty; of her death but absolving him of partial responsibility is at least a poor choice of words.
It seemed to me that he certainly knew more than he was letting on. Whilst he was a total oddball his behavior was far too suspicious. Given the control he had over her and the mental state she was in it wouldn't surprise me if had told her to go off and kill herself. All his behavior suggested he knew she was dead before the police told him and he wasn't bothered by it.
Yes, clearly a very disturbed and disturbing man.
Ultimately though the Police couldn't place anyone (let alone him) at the scene apart from the poor women and that actually is the part of this story that is hidden by his weirdness, the story of this poor women's grim and terrible life and the incredible sadness of it all.

He was obviously very unusual. I wonder if he has ever had a “diagnosis”
Perhaps not necessarily a sociopath but on some scale somewhere

I found something about the guy incredibly sad rather than disturbing.

his motivation was altruistic, in his mind at least but obviously fed his obsessional/controlling personality
The Walter Mitty stuff is generally performed by those who don’t think much of themselves.
If you think the Dog thing was odd you haven’t met many dog owners, many who are undoubtably crackers in their behaviour to their dogs and training them

Well I've got a dog myself, had one all my life and my parents ran dog kennels when I was a youngun so I've met one or two. I know it was possibly selective editing but the parallels between the way he treated/trained the dog and the woman were pretty clear
why would you agree to be in one of these if you were innocent?!?!
he may have moved from that area as it said at the end but now people in new area will recognise him surely!
Yes that's what I thought. Then again he didn't strike me as a person who was very self-aware or someone who makes particularly good decisions.

The episode proves his innocence, I can see why he would want that widely known.why would you agree to be in one of these if you were innocent?!?!

there is that but still
He could have stayed completely anonymous though couldn't he?
In that situation I think I would have wanted to start anew where nobody would know me.

not sure that would work for this programme

I'd agree with that. Whilst he is undoubtedly a very unusual person I didn't see malice and think he genuinely thought he was helping her by trying to "contol" the booze and medication. He had already had his world shattered by divorce and now it's happened again. That's not easy.
I also felt desperately sad that she took her own life in such a violent manner.
