Channel 4 orders external law firm to investigate sudden death of producer on true crime show In the Footsteps of Killers after 'series took its toll'

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 11, 2024
A 'wonderful' producer on Channel 4 's true crime series In the Footsteps of Killers has died, with the broadcaster ordering a 'swift' independent investigation. John Balson, 40, passed away alone on May 17 - eight weeks after falling ill with a severe brain condition that saw him suffer chronic panic disorder and insomnia. The father, who had previously been in good health, had one daughter aged three - and his wife Yumeno Niimura is pregnant with their second child, due in August. Ms Niimura described him as a 'wonderful husband, father and my best friend', adding in a Facebook post that he would be 'deeply missed by all who knew him'. Channel 4 said it was 'deeply saddened' by his death and had asked a law firm to 'undertake a thorough investigation'. It also praised him as a 'highly respected and much-loved professional' who worked for London-based production firm Alaska TV. He started work in January on the third season of In the Footsteps of Killers, a true crime programme which sees Silent Witness actor Emilia Fox and criminologist David Wilson investigate cold cases - but left in March when he became seriously ill. Mr Balson is understood to have been struggling in his final weeks with mental health issues - and the Deadline website, which first reported the news of his death, reported that he wanted to raise awareness of the dangers of overwork in factual TV.

This real-life Silent Witness is even more frightening, and more thrilling, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2024
CHRISOPHER STEVENS: The truth isn't stranger than fiction, and it's a good deal more gruesome. Forensics (BBC2) demonstrates all the ways Silent Witness gets its facts correct, as well as revealing what is too disgusting for drama. Following detectives and forensic scientists looking into how a deceased body was discovered in a box freezer retrieved by a council removals team from a derelict high-rise apartment in Birmingham, the series returned to follow detectives and forensic scientists. Staff at a recycling center opened the freezer, stared in horror, then screamed at the camera, then staggered away. No director could have filmed a more dramatic scene, but some of the details are too gruesome to be described. In the autopsy lab, real life closely resembled the television crime drama. Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) did a forensic pathologist stand over the corpse, dictating notes into a handheld recorder. The disposable white suit and clear plastic faceguard were identical to her kit, with the exception that the Dictaphone itself was in a protective bag.

How much money it really costs to hire a hitman: This author discovered that it's less expensive than you'd expect from her epic conversations with deadly mafia assassins

'How many people have you killed?' The words surreal and absurd appear in my mouth as soon as they are spoken. I can't quite believe I'm here in New York having dinner with a Mafia hitman. John Alite (left in New York and right, his mugshot) tells me he was responsible for taking well over a dozen lives in total, with a dismissive wave of his hand. However, I'm not a computer, so I didn't know I had to keep count.'

Inseperable Sisters review: Sew sweet! According to CHRISTOPHER STEVENS, the giggly conjoined twins have a passion for fashion

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 21, 2024
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The ones you don't think about are the ones you don't think about. Ibra-hea, a retired managing director whose seven-year-old daughters are conjoined, could not have predicted the challenges ahead. Marieme and Ndeye, who were both born at the pelvis, have significant and inevitable medical needs. It was evident from birth, since they weren't meant to live more than a few days. Schools, transport, and care at home, all of which pose significant challenges, and the one-off documentary Inseparable Sisters (BBC1) did not shy away from any of them. However, only people with direct knowledge of the condition could tell how difficult it would be to give the twins something they love - trendy clothing. The charm of this series was not only the sweetness of Marieme and Ndeye's gyrical personalities, but also the excitement of everyone who chipped in to assist.

Emilia Fox of Silent Witness has a natural television presence... Nonetheless, though her outfits came from a friend's fashion store, the BBC claims no product promotion laws were broken

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 11, 2024
Ms Fox, 49, has kept no secret of her long-term relationship with the brand's owner, Marielle Wyse, 60, and announced in May that she had collaborated on a line that featured a pink blazer and trousers. The BBC has stricter guidelines regarding its employees' promotion of its products on its website, but a spokesperson for BBC Studios told the Mail: "A variety of brands are used throughout the series, none of which are named or given undue prominence.' The costume department sources clothing and pays in full.'

The Madame Blanc Mysteries review: Baldrick's latest cunning plan? According to CHRISTOPHER STEVENS, a sun-drenched crime show cameo

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 19, 2024
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Just for a moment, imagine yourself as a nefarious luvvie courted by long-running cosy crime serials promising you a cameo in the sun. Where will you choose for a murder mystery that's all-inclusive - paycheck, travel expenses, cocktails and a splash of Ambre Solaire thrown in? Death In Paradise is filmed in Guadeloupe, Haiti. Emilia Fox landed herself a whole series named Signore Volpe in the Italian countryside. Sir Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick in Blackadder, has boosted his bit part in The Madame Blanc Mysteries (Ch5), shot on the Maltese island of Gozo, by wangling a place on the regular cast. He nipped into the kitchen of the local wine bar and became the restaurant's permanent fixture by the end of the episode, returning to the show as the jailbird uncle of amiable taxi driver Dom (Steve Edge). Tone, you did a good job.

The Nicola Bulley mystery isn't a Netflix crime show, according to JANET STREET-PORTER

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 10, 2023
JANET STREET-PORTER: If the suspicion that Nicola Bulley isn't discovered rises every day, it isn't discovered, it's suppressed by rumors and lies on the internet. The riverbank scene has made it into a pilgrimage destination for gawkers. Officers were required to give disperssion orders to discourage enthusiastic members of the public from photographing selfies on the bench, where Nicola's cellphone was found. A deserted local farmhouse has sparked untrue reports.

Could double murderer Christopher Halliwell be responsible for another abduction?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 9, 2023
It was the mystery that baffled the world: grandmother Trevaline Evans vanished into thin air on a summer's day in 1990 after leaving a note on the door of her antiques shop in Llangollen, Welsh town "Back in two minutes." On the day she vanished, a retired carpet fitter discovered a stranger in the tiny town set in a World Heritage Site in Denbighshire, and he had a resemblance to double murderer Christopher Halliwell. The fitter, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he had seen the guy three times during the 52-year-old's disappearance, once on the day and twice on the day itself.

It's appalling that Nicola Bulley's plight has been turned into a ghoulish carnival, according to BEL MOONEY

BEL MOONEY: a look at her snapshot. On a chilly morning, many mothers - the bobble-hatted women who drop the children off at school and then take the dog for a walk - could be so many mothers. The shock of Nicola Bulley's disappearance on January 27 and continuing public interest in the case are clearly embedded in the everyday routine of this 45-year-old's daily life.
