I can't quite believe the comments left on that video.

Interesting off-topic bit of info from Wikipedia:

Quote:
A fuller version of the footage, including a prior visit and the aftermath of the shooting, now forms part of the BBC's filming safety internal training course.


That Look North clip is really rather extraordinary. The fact that a deeply wound up member of the public is brandishing a gun should have been enough for the police to clear the area, instead we have a full TV crew, TV reporter and other members of the press all surrounding him recording what was going on

I've done several of those courses and actually not seen that particular clip.

Anyway, back to topic, I shall miss Chris Eakin too, he has a very particular style which I've always found very pleasant to watch.


Do you reckon that this is the fuller version of the footage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcr1KtxyAlc

The film begins at the end of that and goes on in part 2 - it is said that this is the extended film that was shown in the court case. I had never come across this case before this thread (it all happening before I was born!), but it really is grimly fascinating. There's plenty more about the case on that channel.
