Dear Mr. Brodie, you just made my day! Listening to your perfect Kings English & voice even when telling sad & tragic stories, takes me home to my Scot ancestors. Thank you.
Dear ma'am, 'did not think a Scottish accent was the king's English, based on watching Colin Firth in ``the King's Speech.'' There was no rolling of r's in that.
Love listening to you Mr Brodie , THANKYOU for all the research You put into These sad but true stories , you narrate so so well and clear ,THANKYOU so so much , YOU ARE A TRUE GENTLEMAN .Diane Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
For me, nothing beats British cases, especially old ones. Thanks for doing this again, UK cases are so underrated & there are still so many unsolved. I remember watching the show crimewatch (UK) from the 80s to 00's episodes. The cases & reconstructions were so eerie, like literally addictive af to watch, but sinister of course

I love Paul’s usage of words. Instead of using the most common word he chooses a lesser known and more sophisticated version of that word with the same meaning.

You know you're listening to a high skilled narrator when you can just close you're eyes snd listen. I've only just stumbled upon this channel and I'm already a huge fan. How this doesn't have over a million subscribers is beyond me
Yeah, I have it on in the background while I do other work, occasionally using it as a pop-out sized down in one of the corners so I can watch and see the old images and drawings using a app that keeps it as the top layer for me. Fall asleep listening... It's just like a neat audio book...
I do love your stories, and eagerly wait for your postings, but what I am increasingly aware of is the absolutely OUTSTANDING production values of your episodes!! They roll forward, the information within the story is presented in a straightforward manner,, yet at the same time, written to be engaging. The cutaways and transitions are seamless, and the dialog and delivery are, of course, flawless. And a doff of the skimmer to yourself, Paul! I can easily see you as the Retired Detective Inspector, and lifelong Law Enforcement, and can see a younger you in the uniform and helmet of the "Beat Cop", having worked up the ranks, then transitioning to Investigations. (all professional police role and titles are meant by me to be generic in nature, as I am sure the proper titles are quite different in Britain) This is to say that your role as presenter is engaging, entertaining, and makes one confident that the story is coming from a man who knows what he is talking about. So BRAVO! Cheers!

I absolutely love crime of the past. There must be so many unheard of or forgotten cases. I like the way you have dressed, you put a lot of thought into this... 👌💯 x
Poor Mr. Coombs. Finding that your wife was murdered is terrible but having the murderer be your oldest son is horrific. I wonder how he coped after that.
That story really made me wonder if the forceps actually did damage him as a baby. He certainly sounded like he had some issue with his frontal lobe. His total lack of reaction to killing his mother was so unusual. I think most people would have a reaction even if the mother was abusive.
Could literally listen to your true crime videos all day ❤ long enough to get lots of information, but not enough to be boring. Keep up the good work 👏 😊
Are you from Scotland? I grew up in Edinburgh and left for Texas when I was 17. My family still lives in Edinburgh. I became a flight attendant and was able to fly all over the world free for 30 years. Mum was thrilled she got to see me quite often.❤
Terrific narration. I could listen to Paul read a telephone directory. The stories are well detailed and comprehensive. Thank you for a wonderful video!
Constable is the lowest rank of most police services in Britain, and there's different types "ranks" of constables. And yes, this varies from place vs. country.
'Constable' is a much older term than 'policeman'. Nowadays, all police and prison officers/governors are 'constables', and 'policeman' is not an official term, though 'police constable' is the lowest rank.
I've never heard of Robert Mone before, Scotland's 1st school shooting? Thank you for this Paul, I can always rely on you to find some new story to tell. 🏴
Usually Mr. Brodie uses great graphics and photos, but the slo-mo shot of feet starting to scuffle at the approved school was kind of funny, since those types of shoes were yet to be invented; if he was born in 1948; the school years would have been completed by the mid-sixties, when running-style shoes with thick rubber soles were invented in around 1980. That must have been an unfortunate turning point, since it was a boarding school, when he had lived near St. John's, where he could be near his little sisters.
Wow Paul you are the best on TH-cam, you really do you're research, I seen a few stores you've covered, on different channels and they don't even come close to telling all the facts like you do , on the story of Marie n Fredrick Manning I learned soooo much more on you're story of them them on any other channel , you're amazing, please keep up the awesome work , looking so forward to seeing you hopefully for many year's to come , God bless n take care ❤
So true, I've heard the story of Marie & Fredrick Manning told many of times now; Yet never knew the "hole history" excuse about plumbing, and so much more mentioned in Pauls telling of the Manning's & O'Connor's histories, .. and fates!! I'd first learned of The Bermondsey Horror, from Murder Maps S01. E01.

I wish you could have been my history teacher i might have past your the 1st person who I've listened to about old history and not got bored and fell asleep.look forward to watch more all the best tickity boo.
Between 2011/2014 there was a tv drama programme called “ the suspicions of Mr Whitcher” this was the first case he was on Constance murdering her half brother (6 different cases all together )
A real pleasure to listen to you paul. I nearly wept with joy and relief when you actually said 'brought' ... so many use the other, to such an extent i fear the dictionary may change with usage. Thanks for being such a pleasure, visually and orally.
The more I listen to your voice, the more it reminds me of my Pa (born 1910 in Paisley). I once told him as a wee Aussie lad: "Pa, you sound like Jackie Stewart" .. 😄He strongly disagreed with my assumption, even though I was aged but 4 or 6 year old upon asking. Decades have passed, yet it still soothes my soul hearing that unique voice. btw. Pa told me a tongue twister on how to get to Forfar from Fife, over the Firth of Forth. He only told it once, and unsure to this day if he made it up? Or it's something he was told? I've not been able to find it? (or remember that wonderful tongue twisting tale told!!)
First time watching, instantly hooked,GREAT CHANNEL!! New subscriber, excellent research and clear concise narration. Really interesting look at our dark history, almost feels like I'm cast back in time by the way you set scene, I keep waiting for Holmes and Watson to turn up and solve the crime😢😂
17:03 I’m having trouble making sense of the Constance Kent story. The investigation seemed to have turned into a cold case. If that was so and none of family members were in immediate threat of being arrested then why would she sacrifice herself? I could understand her confessing if her father or brother was about to be arrested or if they were falsely convicted and imprisoned and she wanted to save them at her own expense but that wasn’t the case. So there was no reason to confess. The only thing that makes sense is that she was guilty. It also explains the bloody nightgown, which at least suggests a female murderer. Why confess to a murder she didn’t commit?
I love pauls voice it has such a lovely accent. He is a master storyteller. When you suffer from insomnia like me, it's a nice thing to listen to. And the stories are always interesting.
The smaller children were NOTthe STEPchildren of the older children. They were HALF siblings of the older ones. Step means that two people are part of the same family but are NOT RELATED.
Oh, wasn't the Kent family home just lovely. I get an almost nostalgic feeling, looking at these places (and castles.) Bothies, too! It's not unlike homesickness. 🤔
I enjoy the historical aspects of the crimes and how they effectively did set predecessors to how our world would be shaped!!!! God Bless you Mr. PAUL , you are awesome for this!!!❤
Question! That gorgeous shot of those chalk cliffs. The Seven Sisters? Anyway I noticed there is beach down there when the tide is out. So there is a danger of getting stuck down there in water when the tide comes in?
In the first episode I find it very hard to believe the mother, Mary Ann, wasn’t a suspect. The father, Samuel Kent was a known adulterer, and the mother of Francis was apparently Mary Drewe Pratt, the nanny. If Mary Ann was mentally unstable she had both motive and opportunity to commit the murder. It was in her habit to go and fetch Francis, which means Samuel probably didn’t even notice if Mary Ann had left the master bedroom.
It is possible that the nanny was with the old man in another part of the house 👀 , leaving ‘their’ baby unattended, thus giving the wife opportunity to get to the child 😢 she could have picked up the nightie on her way through the house to dispose of him 🤔
So why did Constance confess to the murder years later when she had no need to? The mother of the youngest child was not the nanny. And where is the evidence that the mother was mentally unstable?
@@janetpendlebury6808 I don’t know. I just find it very strange that the mother wasn’t a suspect. It’s odd that Constance confessed at all after so many years.
I love watching your channel when I am unwell. your voice is soothing & the content is so god it's distracting from my upset tummmy and my aching head. You're the G.O.A.T Paul 💖✌

She had converted to Catholicism. I suspect that she viewed her confession and prison sentence as an act of penance

@@janetpendlebury6808 I don’t know. I just find it very strange that the mother wasn’t a suspect. It’s odd that Constance confessed at all after so many years.
I love watching your channel when I am unwell. your voice is soothing & the content is so god it's distracting from my upset tummmy and my aching head. You're the G.O.A.T Paul 💖✌
