10 part drama The People v OJ Simpson starts tonight at 9pm on BBC2. About the murder investigation and the trial which was a media sensation.

 

Strong cast Cuba Gooding jnr at OJ, David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian, OJ's defence attornery, John Travolta as Robert Shapiro, another defence attorney.

 

The series is known as American Crime Story in the States. This is the first series and it looks as if the intention in future series is to base them on other people as IMDB describes it as "An anthology series centered around some of history's most famous criminals. "

Thanks for the reminder, El Loro.

I'm going to record it, and watch the Stephen Fry documentary "live".

I related to a lot of that Eugene. Been in and out for 25 years and never once had a diagnosis. Maybe I'm Bi Polar after all - although it seems a catch all term.

I don't know about being a "catch all", but - as with most mental illness - it does sound like a spectrum. It's also more difficult to diagnose than I'd realised: look at the problems they had diagnosing Fry himself, and I was surprised to find it can often take 8 years to reach a formal diagnosis.
