I remember that the evil .... gave the code wrong...something the IRA never previously did. They gave a coded warning that the bombs were to go off in Chester.
I think Chester was evacuated.

| Quote: lefty goldblatt "Didn't watch the programme. I don't like these "dramatisations" of personal loss (see also Rhys Jones, the Liverpudlian boy who got shot in 2007).
I remember going into town, that fateful evening. The whole place was numb.'"
Same here, it doesn't sit easy with me at all. |

My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid:6355.jpg |

I had no problem with it. It was a story that needed telling to a new generation, and a timely reminder for those older also. It had the blessing of the Parry family, and was written by a local lad, Nick Leather, so its heart is firmly in the right place. The Peace Centre provided direction throughout as well. There was nothing sensational or titillating about it. Nothing indecent, provocative or improper. But it was hard as hell to watch, undoubtedly for those of us with connections to the town and, harder still, the families directly affected by the atrocity.
Nothing short of brilliant dramatization.

And in contrast....
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:
BBC presenter Rachael Bland dies aged 40 - www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45410652
That was heartbreaking reading for me. Especially the birthday presents for her son. |

As a family we indirectly knew the Parry's. Mum and Dad went to night school learning French with Colin and Wendy, and Dom (and later Tim) went to my Sea Scout Troop, the 10th Warrington, who met in the scout hut next to the Woodys every Friday night. So we had connections. But years later I did a number of events with Wendy at the Peace Centre. The performances of Mays and Maxwell Martin are flawless. Mays impression and voice of Colin, Maxwell Martin's mannerisms of Wendy. Yeesh.
Have followed the Bland story for a while, as always listened to her on Five Live. Awfully sad story. What an incredible woman.
