Just watched. Utterly mental and desperately sad story, how it could’ve even happened and then continue for so long boggles the mind.

Very good, well worth a watch. (For those that missed it for real the first time around)

Just watched this as well. We watched the imposter on Netflix, turned it off when finished and this was just starting and it looked intriguing. Both worth a watch.

I liked it as well, was keen to see it as I was in first year when he joined - can see various classmates in some of the footage and one of the girls interviewed throughout lived at the bottom of my street. He did look quite a bit older than the other 5th/6th years…carried himself in a completely different way as well.

I really enjoyed that. His old friends still had a lot of fondness for him but then they completely misremembered his singing ability and the kiss

I see him often walking around Milngavie. A peculiar chap. The burns scarring thing was never unravelled?

I thought I wouldn't like that Storyville format with the dubbing but Alan Cumming did an excellent job.

A curious tale of deception and lies that ended in infamy. Fair play though balls of steel to carry it off right up until he went on holiday with a bunch of school girls....

Caft Dunt, he might have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
