- Re: Suzy Lamplugh Case
Regarding the ‘Mr Kipper’ theories; is it possible Suzy ever watched the TV show, ‘Minder’? There’s a cockney slang saying that the character Arthur Daley uses: “done up like a kipper”. This is a dodgy 2nd-hand car dealer saying he’s been stitched up and is innocent. That’s Cannan, and I think Suzy had met him before, and knew something of his business. It was their private joke.

United Kingdom15 days ago While I think David Wilson's insights are interesting there is a big disparity between his professionalism and Martin Frizell's manner which is often insensitive to victims, can be inaccurate factually and is generally far too jokey. His humour while talking about extremely serious and sensitive matters feels out of place and it's a bit like listening to Richard Madeley examining offending behaviour! Add to that the constant begging to be voted best true crime podcast in various awards and it's ... more

How have I not heard about this?? Although I do not watch the news regularly, I listen to BBC news & follow news stories online, but I don’t believe I heard anything about this case.
Thank you for covering this story.

Glad Professor Wilson is back! “If It Bleeds, It Leads” ended a while ago and glad to see this new podcast address current cases from journalistic, law enforcement / correctional services and academic perspectives. The thoughtful insights and respectful discussions between cohosts elevate the podcast above many others , i.e. this podcast treats each episode as a case, not a show. I appreciate learning about different systems and challenges in different continents, e.g. Circle of Care program, Sc... more

Im new to the show and I’m really enjoying it, however, there is one thing that is driving me mad and thats the way Martin says “Patreon” (Pah-tray-on!)!!! I’m not sure if its an “in” joke that I’ve missed but it properly irks me!!!!! 🙈 Other than that, I love it and Professor Wilson is just fantastic ☺️
