I live outside the US but I have cable, in what channel is Panorama?
I have just finished watching Panorama - just to put it in contex the show is on the Beeb , it has been around for years and has a total reputaion as being impartiial and following journalistic standards second to none on TV .
OK the programme
Firstly in was refreshing to actualy see and here some facts from the horses mouths - Gerry , Kate and Jane Tanner were all interviewed at length - so we can now rely on what they say as opposed to the amount of inuendo and gossip in the papers .
I learnt a lot about the time lines though there were some things that were not cleared up - not even mentioned . I saw an interview with the head of the PJ and also all the Mccann clan and Kates family -
It is difficult to just repeat verbatim as it was an hour show but I have much better idea of the time line and also where Gerry met wilkins and where Tanner saw them and where she saw the bundleman -
The big thing was that Tanner seemed highly believable - she came across as someone who just wanted to tell what she saw - and to all those who said she looks awful and should have had her hair done - she looked fine
I cant now give a full report on the programme - but if anyone wants to ask questions I will answer in time as to what the programme reported - I am sure other brits here will do the same
all I can say is that I just cant see how the Mccanns could have done it - been involved atall - just no way
Well I cannot understand why they thought it was safe, it was far enough away to leave 3 kids in an unlocked apartment especially after being warned of burglaries.
Furthermore it has now been absolutely & without a shadow of a doubt clarified that Tanner was on the same path as Gerry & Wilkins, I believe she is lying about seeing the abductor or even being there, gerry or Jeremy would have seen her. She passed right by for Gods sake.
I thought that she did look rather well, nothing like that horrid photograph of her in Portugal!
Is the main highway a place where it wouldn't be at all expected to see someone carrying a child that late at night? I'd expect Jane Tanner to look horrible while still in Portugal after what had just happened. At least someone looked awful, unlike Kate.

Yes, lets have clarity - not hair splitting.no barnaby she was not on the same path - did you watch it - Gerry crossed the road to chat to Wilkins - Tanner past by on the opposite road and saw the bundleman on the main highway - Gerry and Wilkins would have had their back to that
Please lets have some clarity here - Tanner was NOT on the same pathway as Gerry they were opposite sides ,
Yes, lets have clarity - not hair splitting.
She was definately on the same "path" or street, about as close to the them if not closer as she claims she was to the bundleman.
Your assertion is that GM and Wilkins would have had their backs to what?? JT or the bundleman, either one is rather silly as if they were in converation it is more likely one faced the direction of bundleman while one faced either JT or the Tapas or even the bldg they were standing next to. You need to assume they both faced the bldg to come to your conclusion.
Also, on my computer the sound is fussy. Does JT say she said Hi to GM on the path as he spoke to Wilkins?
It is a crucial point - on the same path is not the same as being across the road - not quite hair splitting ? On the same path implies that you step aside each other which wasnt what she said - yiou want to get it right dont you ?
Tanner said in the doc that as she was travelling back to her appt she Gerry and Wilkins chatting on the other side of the road - she didnt say if she said hello or not - it was dark - she saw them - they didnt see her if they were in conversation why not ?
The so called abductor was ahead of Tanner on the main road the runs parrallel to the houses . Ok I dont know if they had their back or front to them - but in the documentary they were 3/4 down the road and it wasnt until Tanner got nearer to the corner that she claimed she saw Bundleman .
what stood out for me (and the bbc made sure we spotted it) was Gery was talking to his friend the same time as the man walked across the road with his child, the point of the fact was that Gerys friend would have also been loking up the road the same time as Tanner. going by the bbc they both were only 50 yards from the top of the road.
also pointed out last night by the BBC, Tanner had been briefed by the Mccan's before she was aloud to talk.
of course - if they are in as a whole they will have had months to collude on their story -
That is the thing now they are all either victims of this abduction or will go down as the biggest group of murderers /liars that we have ever seen
