  1. 0:02 I was at the National Television Awards at the Royal Albert Hall that chilly Tuesday night, 27th October 1998, and clearly recall Jill Dando's arrival. All eyes were on her, she looked a million dollars in that glamorous, head-turning red dress. She was with her fiance-to-be Alan Farthing (they announced their engagement on January 31st 1999). She truly glowed, it was clear she was in a wonderful place in her life, happy and successful, both professionally and personally. Jill later presented one of the awards at the huge industry bash hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald. Sitting in the audience I remarked to my friend how spookily similar to Princess Diana she looked. Diana had died the previous year, aged 36. We would never have believed Jill Dando would be killed in an even more violent and horrific way 6 months later, aged 37. Truth really is stranger than fiction. 'It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive', as the saying goes. There's no doubt Jill Dando was travelling hopefully, and the happiest she'd ever been when her life was cruelly stolen from her. Among her hopes for the future were a happy marriage, and children. She gave every indication she'd be a wonderful mother. Her own beloved mum Jean died at 57, after battling leukaemia. Jill was just 24. when she lost her. Mother and daughter both suffered serious health issues in their lives. How her mum must have fretted over the 3-year-old Jill, just a tot when she had life-saving surgery for a hole in her heart and a blocked pulmonary artery. She sailed through the major ops, and was set to enjoy a normal life-span. I guess there's some mercy that her mum never knew of her murder - Jill's poor dad Jack had to suffer that tragedy to the end of his days. Coping with her mother's devastating cancer diagnosis and death, must have been horrendous blows for Jill. She was buried beside her mum in Weston-Super-Mare, and sadly her dad Jack subsequently joined them in 2009. It's devastating to think of the kids she'd have raised with so much love. Children who because of this act of evil, were never born. Which reminds me of another famous quote: 'For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been'.

  2. Give the guy a break! He didn't snap at his wife at all. He's living through a nightmare, trying to be as open as he can by speaking to journalists, and his wife is supporting him. He doesn't have the energy to be as smooth and charming with her as he normally would, and I'm sure she fully understands. It staggers me that in 2021 professional film makers are still using real guns on movie sets. Why? This accident should not have been possible. Actors could and should use replica guns. With today's CGI and other editing tricks the gun doesn't need to actually make a noise or behave in any way - it can all be done in post production. An incomprehensible tragedy that killed a much-loved, uniquely talented woman, made a child motherless, a husband a widower, and blighted the lives of many people.

  3. Good on her! Shee's been caught and given her sentence now back off and leave her be. It's not for others to stand in judgement. Anyway this is small fry - why don't the courts go after the real fraudsters, not small time benefit fraudsters but wealthy tax evaders!

  4.  @flaccidego4291  Seriously? You crucify Alec Baldwin for the 2007 voicemail he left his daughter Ireland when she was a child, during his acrimonious custody battle with her mother Kim Basinger. A message he apologised for unreservedly at the time - 14 frigging years ago! And by the way, Ireland was a guest at her dad's 2019 TV roast, and joked about that message - if she can forgive him and move on, I'm damn sure total strangers like you should! Flaccid Ego sure sums you up.

  6. Agreed, it had to be targeted and professional. Someone benefited from her murder - but it isn't clear who. If this was a terrorist/political act by an Eastern European group - or whoever else - why didn't they proudly claim responsibility?

  8. They probably didn't know for sure, even if Jill Dando was personally targeted. The assassin may have lingered outside her home a few times before, and on that fateful day got lucky. She had visited that Gowan Avenue address 2 days before her murder, without incident. That Saturday, she found her fax machine was running out of ink (she lived at her fiance's home, and used her own house primarily as an office). That was her reason for returning on Monday - to sort out the fax machine. Hardly an earth-shattering event she'd have mentioned to anyone but her partner. Her brother journalist Nigel Dando believes her killing was an against-the-odds, random event that may not even have been connected with her fame. It's an interesting theory, and if true would explain why it's unsolved.

  9. Lancashite Police are the lowest of the low. It's plainly obvious they've entered victim-blaming territory, to take the heat off their own obvious failings in this case. After serving armed police officer Wayne Couzens abducted and murdered a woman last year (and other heinous incidents of police misogyny), women have no reason whatsoever to trust the police! Nicola Bulley's menopause is totally irrelevant to the search for her. Nor are her drinking habits important - she was clearly a fully functioning citizen, taking her kids to school, walking her dog, and holding down a responsible job! There may be no evidence of foul play or third party involvement, as the police keep telling us - but neither is there any evidence she went into that river! The Keystone Cops clearly seized on her recent, confidential medical issues, and used them as confirmation bias of their premature conclusion she drowned. Would she really have jumped into that river and abandoned her beloved dog, off the leash? Would she have committed suicide during a conference call to her employer? It simply doesn't add up. There is insufficient evidence to be sure this woman drowned herself, and police should consider foul play as a very real possibility. Because guess what, menopausal women who like a drink can be abducted the same as non menopausal teetotallers can. The circumstances of her disappearance are VERY suspicious!

  12. He seems to be suggesting Nicola went off with somebody of her own accord. That makes no sense - she would not have left her beloved dog, her phone, and most important of all, she would not have abandoned her two little girls who need her. It's offensive to her and her family to suggest that. In the absence of a body, or any other evidence that this woman went into the river, it's now looking almost certain she was ABDUCTED. It was most likely foul play, and now, belatedly, must be fully investigated as such. Police made a grave mistake in announcing at the start of the investigation 'no crime has been committed'. How could they possibly know? In fact the circumstances of her sudden, totally out of character disappearance were very suspicious! I hope at today's 15th February media conference police will finally announce Abduction is now their leading theory, and the one they are aggressively investigating. They spent two weeks chasing the drowning theory, which could not be proved. And all that time Nicola may have been held captive in a local building - desperate for help - while police focused exclusively on a river she never went near!

  13. Their titles and HRH status should have been removed automatically when they chose to emigrate and not be working royals. They don't do any official work for the family firm, so the titles are meaningless and inappropriate. If Harry and Meghan were really the selfless humanitarians they claim, why are they so keen to grab every damn VIP privilege and perk for themselves and their children? The fact they were so desperate for their kids to have royal titles and status - despite growing up as Americans, where those titles are pretty much pointless - shows exactly how self-serving and narcissistic Harry and Meghan are. Harry is dismally unintelligent, sadly. There was never any question of him going to university, like his way smarter brother William. Harry only rose through the military ranks thanks to his VIP status. Their recent, ridiculous insistence that their family surname is 'Sussex', only confirms how stupid and ignorant Harry is!

  14.  @angelamarie3617  Killer Kimberly Kessler stole victim Joleen's car, and planted some meth in it. This was to portray her as an out of control drug addict, when she 'went missing'. Garbage, as Joleen was a very reliable and punctual hard worker, and a great hair stylist. Kessler was jealous of her and her popularity with clients, according to witnesses at the salon.

  15. A Dodo channel video gives more details - that little dog Chucky was elderly, 13 years old, and had been in the pool doing doggie paddle for just over 34 minutes when rescue pit bull Jessie managed finally to pull him out. It's a miracle Chucky didn't drown long before Jessie was able to save him. Jessie hates the water, you see her flinch every time she gets splashed, so her bravery was even more amazing. She was later given a 'hero' award from the rescue charity that her owners adopted her from. The owners Byron and Melissa have now installed a cover over their pool. I find it astonishing they left their much loved dogs, one elderly and one who hates water, with access to an open pool. Pools can even kill wild animals that fall in - I hope people see this and cover their pool when not in use. Pools cause so many totally avoidable human and animal tragedies every year!

  16. Utter nonsense! It's a favourite urban myth that Jill Dando was investigating a secret paedophile ring at the BBC, Jimmy Savile, etc. In fact there's no evidence she was doing any such thing. When she was murdered, Jill was preoccupied with nothing more controversial than her own wedding plans. Jill Dando read the news, she was no hard-nosed investigative journalist. She was as vanilla as they come with her holiday and antique shows. If she was this anti-paedophile crusader, she would hardly have been pals with Cliff Richard, knowing all the rumours that swirled around about him and young boys!

  17. I can't believe the owners left their two dogs home alone with access to an open swimming pool - knowing one dog was elderly and other other hated water! You MUST cover a pool when not in use - even wildlife can fall in and drown!

  18. That's an urban myth, there's no evidence she was doing any such thing. Jill Dando was no hard-nosed investigative reporter, working to expose a paedophile ring at the BBC - or anywhere else! She was as vanilla as they come, and preoccupied with nothing more controversial than her own wedding plans when she was murdered. If Jill Dando was so keen to expose predators, she would hardly have been pals with Cliff Richard, knowing all the unsavoury rumours about him and young boys!

  19. Urban myth. Jill Dando admitted herself she was 'vanilla', it was her stock in trade and made her rich and famous. She was no hard nosed, investigative reporter.

  20.  @michellediskin1  Interesting, that would confirm it was an Eastern European hit as I believe. Why if those calls were authentic, isn't that accepted as the motive for Jill Dando's murder?
