He was really good as handsome rogue Fred west in that TV show
That was fucking ace. I had never seen The Wire at that point so had no idea who he was, I just assumed that they had simply scoured the actors guild for the man who looked most like Fred West and he was the lucky winner, catapulted to instant smallish-stardom. I read that the real "appropriate adult" whose role gave the show its title found him so convincing that she was scared to be around him or some such nonsense.
But if you haven't seen it then you should certainly check out Appropriate Adult - I would say it's possibly THE best dramatised serial-killer true story thing I've ever seen. And you might reply with a slightly sceptical voice and possibly even a raised eyebrow "Yeah but how many of those have you seen?" and I would then reply with a totally unjustified kind of triumphant smugness that I've seen fucking loads cos Liza has this weird obsession with serial killers and she watches stuff about them all the time, making me her unfortunate accomplice. We were in the UK for a couple of weeks over Christmas and there is a channel with a load of serial killer stuff on it and we watched that almost all of it.
There was this bit when we were watching a doc about Graham Young (the guy who inspired the book and then film The Young Poisoner's Handbook) and, when they finally did arrest and convict him, he ended up in a prison on the Isle of Wight and the voice over said something like...
"In the gaol most of the other inmates avoided any contact with him as they were worried that his chemical knowledge and ability to synthesise poisons from raw materials combined with his addiction to poisoning people still made him dangerous. However, he did build up a relationship with moors murderer Liam Brady... " at which point Liza interjected "Yeah, that makes perfect sense, I bet they bonded over their shared love of Nazi literature!".... and it continued "... as they had a mutual interest in Nazi literature".
She should be presenting these programmes not watching them.
