I have no idea when it's airing although a BBC 'coming soon' trailer has launched with 'five daughters' included in so i'm guessing soon?
However this looks really interesting and quite harrowing. It has also had permission from the police involved to go ahead.

I wasn't aware the police approved BBC1 scheduling,Jay Hunt will be interested to hear that because she thinks she runs BBC1:eek:
I believe the producers have been in contact with the familys of the victims so they can try and get the girls personalitys right.
May all 5 girls R.I.P
Oh you come from Ipswich? What was it like at the time? Was everyone effected by the story?
I'm not 100% about the story as i don't know much about it, so i will 'look forward' (if thats possible) to see what happens.

i remember 'cherished' (which also starred sarah lancashire) very hard hitting drama bout Angela Cannings.
Nice of the BBC's sentimental liberal Social-Conditioning.
"5 Dead Prossies [On a wall]" would have been much more in line with modern televisions conventions of looking for cynical titles that'll jump out on a page of a tv guide and stir up some controversy. :rolleyes:
Though, I'm sure, the BBC PR department will still ensure plenty of worthy coverage across the tv and features pages.
No doubt, they'll all be presented in their career choice as victims who were forced by circumstance to become prostitutes without reference to their upbringing, intelligence or choices.
Kind regards,

I remember the moors murders (2006 ITV) was brilliantly done and very hard hitting to how real it 'seemed'.
Hopefully it will focus on the early life of each of the girls so viewers star to care about them before writing them off as 'just prostitutes'.
They were also filming at Ashton park just opposite Bristol City's football ground.
Yeah i also read they were filming around that area. I guess if the filming has just finished it won't be on TV until April or something.
BBC Press Office havn't updated on it either. Hmm.
I think timing is important too, in terms of when it's appropriate to, to a certain extent dramatise a real life series of murders. I think with both Moors Murders dramas, there was a new generation to inform about them, and also I know one, mainly focused on Myra Hindley's brother in law and the role he played in reporting Brady and Hindley to the Police, and I know at the time of the drama being shown, someone on here remarked how it was really due to the brother in law that Brady and Hindley were caught, yet him and Hindley's sister were ostracised by their community and abused regularly.
Anyone heard anymore news?
It was a pretty scary time, people were scared to go out as you can imagine. Every time I went out you could see the change in people, it was like everybody is a suspect and you could see the look in peoples eyes wondering if it could be them.
I can't believe it is going to be 4 years ago this year
I come from quite nearby to you, so I am also interested in how this subject is going to come across in a drama.
I had heard too that members of Paula Clennell's family had been talking to the writers of this drama.
I hope that they fill out the girls personalities a bit, rather than just focus on what they did for a living and how they were when they were using drugs.
Ooops! didn't see this post when i made my last one.
It was a horrible time just being in a nearby area, so it must have been dreadful to have been living in Ipswich at the time and a little bit surreal, what with all the media camped out in Ipswich?
I visited Ipswich during that time period and was scared, I also felt pretty scared in my current location, given at one point the police thought he might shift his target location down the A14.
I've read a lot about the case and subsequent trial, but I still feel as if I don't know much at all, if you see what I mean?
What has happened to the red light district in Ipswich now, have you heard? Last I read on it was that the police were now showing zero tolerance to girls working out there and that there was a bit of bad feeling about this.
I think that the girls portrayl is loyal and credit to them and not just what they did. It's more their POV instead of the murderer.
Like i said, not sure when it's going to air, but i'm guessing soon?
Well, I'm in the next town along, but it was still very scary, specially, as I said before, when they thought that because of the police/media attention in Ipswich, he might start targeting nearby towns. I don't think there were many women in Suffolk who felt safe at that time.
It was a surreal time really. One because of the frequency of the girls dissappearing and turning up murdered and two, because of the amoubt of press attention.
I would like to hear more about the girls, to get a sense of what they were like and who they were.
I had heard that Paula Clennell's family were co-operating, I wonder if the other families are ok with it?
Depends what accent you mean!
I live in the area, grew up here, moved away, came back and have no Suffolk accent. A lot of people I know have done the same, so none of us have particularly strong accents.
Some of the girls, I'm thinking both Paula Clennell and Anneli Alderton, had lived up north and abroad so I doubt they had strong accents either. I remember hearing Paula Clennell be annonymously interviewed on Anglia news and she didn't have a particular accent.
Gemma Adams had a solid middle class upbringing, so I doubt she had much of an accent. I haven't read much about either Tanya Nichol or Annette Nicholls, but Tanya's father (Jim Duell) made a statement at the time and he didn't seem to have a strong Suffolk accent.
I don't really come across the stereotypical 'carrot cruncher' accent much anymore, do you?
I might hear it occasionally in the older generation in little villages, or on market days, but that's about it. This area is home to a lot of commuters too, so I can't say I hear the old Suffolk Swede accent at all now!
I worked in Ipswich in the council building, which is in the heart of the red light area at the time. It was so close to christmas, but the merry joy of christmas wasnt there. Everything seemed still and calm.
I lived in the next town down, and on my way home (3 of the bodies were found along that part of the a14) you would see the police or sky news helicopter going and just thought, what have they found now? I hope they haven't found anyone or anything.
I also remember the locals, the office where everyone was checking the news hourly and some people had been to school or knew the ladies before their previous life as a prostitute. In a strange way, there seemed to be a real sense of community but a lack of trust within it.
I really hope this never happens again, RIP.
