Lucan (BBC)

Postby Santa C » 07 Nov 2024, 16:53

An intriguing saga, I remember it well

1974, a children’s nanny is discovered in a mail sack in the basement of a Belgravia townhouse. The father of the children is the chief suspect

Richard Bingham aka Lord Lucan

Anybody else up for it….?

Thought about it C. but we've been watching 'Until I Kill You' on ITV and its captivating. It's true story as well, very worthwile watching and an excellent acting performance as the lead character by Anna Maxwell Martin.

It was not what I thought it would be it was a docudrama heavy on the docu...!

I switched it off after 20 minutes

It was bizarre. You need to watch it to the end.

There's only 3. Its the journey as much as the ending.

I remember a short-lived US tv program from the 70's or early 80's by that name. The title character was a feral kid raised by wolves. When he got mad or excited his wolf powers kicked in, signaled by his eyes turning red. I remember he used his wolf powers to climb a rope in gym class once. In fact, that is the only thing I actually remember about the show.

Sometimes TV stuff for kids from the 70s was like a fever dream and until the advent of the internet you were unsure whether it had even existed or your mind had made it up.
