I watched it at the weekend and thought the production left a few gaps considering it was such a serious set of allegations.

A lot of accusations on film were followed up with script such as 'a member of her family confirmed they were in a relationship' and when one of the women based in the US said she ran out of Brands house crying and realised there was people there waiting for a meeting who had heard her being attacked I was surprised none of the journalists had attempted to track down these people to corroborate what she was saying.

Again, it just said 'family members' had backed it up.

They only had an hour. Was there not a caption up that said they’d checked all the sources? I watched it pished so I might well be talking rubbish. I would’ve thought that they’ve quadruple checked all this before putting it out though

There was nothing stating that they had even tried to track down those potential witnesses never mind got them to confirm her story. Not that I don't believe her of course.

I also find it a bit too hypocritical that it was The Times that was partly involved in the investigation and of course it was their sister paper that was giving Brand their 'top shagger' award back in the day.
