- Terrible: Repetitive and unquestioning
I’ve only listened to the first series which I found pretty poor. There is a huge amount repetition which I’ve noticed is a problem with other Times podcasts too. More worryingly, the podcast journalist is completely unquestioning of her main source, the editor Don. My interest was piqued by Matthew Parris saying he found Don had a vivid imagination — this should have been followed up on. How much of what Don tells us, particularly about filmic attempts on his life, can we believe? Nothing he sa... more

Netherlands2 years ago - Last Man Standing ruined by Rhana wittering
Fantastic investigation. But it would have been infinitely better just presented and narrated by Anthony rather than the conversational format. Manveen Rhana’s inane interjections and muttering ruin it - her nasal grunting every minute, her fake reactions, her “ya, ya” responses when she hasn’t a clue what to say, her self-important attempts to sound as though she’s really knowledgeable when Anthony politely keeps correcting her comments, her patronising tone… Wish she could just be cut out!

Interesting and heartbreaking in equal measure. Personally I think he was doing everything he could to survive. Poor man and his family. Shame on the government for leaving him to such a dreadful fate.
