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
Most people aren’t history nerds like us unfortunately 😊
He has an engineering degree but I don't know which type.
But he also has a band, have any of you seen Paul in his band Red Dog City?
Yes! And an accomplished actor! Paul is just the best! Welcome to the fam!
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...
Same for me! Just discovered it the other day and subscribed!
Thank you for always correctly naming & giving any victims the respect due to them. Great narration & seemingly packed full of detail, classy.
I am one of those people who notices flaws in pronunciation, pausing at wrong moments in a narrative, etc., but this man is superb. I can’t fault his speech.
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
"don't have nightmares"
I am a committed believer in BBC and ANY UK TV shows!
Studied at Cambridge University in 2004.
Great experience.
Love ASDA [UK version of wally world].
Better pricing.
Better workers.
Just Better.
Keeping Up Appearances.
Fawlty Towers.
Vicar of Dibley.
I agree!!
I prefer narratives, audiobooks, etc., spoken in a UK regional accent.
I have untold books on British crime stories ! Charity shops are amazingly full of these books x
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.
First time hearing this gentleman. Love not having overly dramatic, too loud music.
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.
@@quickchris10 Definitely Scottish accent here and all the better for it.
Very eloquent Glaswegian.
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 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
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.
Perfect story teller and so immaculately dressed..what a gent! Keep up the excellent work
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.
But he uses them properly, unlike some RUclipsrs who abuse the thesaurus.
One should never abuse reptiles. 🦕 😂🤪
@@The-Mstr-Pook I thought they were extinct. 🐍🤔😁
@@thegreencat9947 They're almost, because of the abuse received. Very much like the English language.
It wasn't until I moved to a foreign country that I learned how different American is from my Native English.
It's only when foreigners speak American to an English man and you don't know what they mean, that I noticed the difference.
And that's growing up in the 80s as an avid movie watcher. 😂😂😂
@@The-Mstr-Pook I love your name.😊 Just wanted to throw that out there.😊
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.❤
Excellent! I enjoy Paul's calm voice as he tells the stories. Thank you.
Dude you’re going to lull me to sleep before I can even pay attention to the story. How is your voice so soothing??
I had to rewind one story 6x because I was so lulled,I kept losing focus😂😂😂
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
Francis was Constance's halfbrother, not step brother.
I Love Paul's voice.
It's soothing
I love Paul's bloopers. Hahaha. But yes. I love listening to him!
We all do.
I agree. I’m not good with dialects but Paul rolls his ‘Rs’ like a true Scotsman but other words are definitely pronounced in an English way so I can’t decide where he is from.
@@mk1604 he's Scottish
Paul,you are loved here in baton rouge Louisiana,be blessed
You should look into Man's Dark Imagination.
Ahhh, Baton Rouge.. the classiest swamp in America.
I could listen to this man talk about anything and everything all day long! Such a soft accent. Lovely!😍
“And the knife may have gone into her. Maybe more than once.”😅😅😅
Heritage does good "Clarity" of Fingerprints in MUCH Shameful Role play "Crimes" of Copycat Rapists, Murders, and Social disorder ..Scotland Yards are the Heart of Policing Organizations., . Just Speaking of President Trump's Bond....I would have requested $1 Bond.,As Indulgence with Whatever wanted Him to Ride or sit for a picture.,.. Just viewing Dick Fellows uniqueness in "Could not ride" and Means of Regions to survive for Intellectual Men...
As if.....!😂🤣😂🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
Well, I never...!
Omg,, I love these long videos!! Thanks Paul
Such a fantastic content creator ! Love your style & vibe and your telling of these nightmare cases
Thank you for this fascinating series.
Poor Mr. Evans - absolutely wrongly accused and killed. Another victim of this serial killer.
Wow such a long video! Thank you!
Terrific narration. I could listen to Paul read a telephone directory. The stories are well detailed and comprehensive. Thank you for a wonderful video!
I love to listen to these as I do school work as background noise it's also so nice to fall asleep to it
I thought a policeman and a constable were the same thing, Local town vs. county I guess. Great story telling as usual!
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.
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 👏 😊
I enjoy his voice his accent and the tales. Keep it up we will keep listening🌺🌺🌺
More of these pls. You are the king of true crime and I'm partial to British crime. Thank you! More More more
I could listen to Paul s stories all day, love his voice great story teller my favorite man
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.
Ahh, the suspicions of Mr Whicher
Thank you so much Paul ❤🎉
10 kids in 15 years ! holy moly
little wonder she passed away quite early.
#ExhaustedDrained
That is not unusual for the times, there was no birth control back then. Both my parents had 9 siblings.
Really enjoy your videos! The older cases are so interesting to me and you are such a fine narrator! Much appreciated!
The mone murders happened in my hometown of Dundee and I went to school at st John's years later also was paper delivery gal at no man's land where his dad killed the 3 woman as i lived in the area,it was a creepy building,Got to be the best story teller on you tube and you being Scottish is a bonus lol
Isn't this narrator Scottish, too?
Fabulous narrator and his voice and persona at the right touch of magic as well. So well done, Paul bravo!❤
Thank you for another great posting! I love your stylish outfits and your voice etc! I wish you and everyone a most beautiful and happy weekend!🤗👋🏼🇦🇹🌸
I love this channel. And also how Mr. Brodie is always dressed in a most spiffy fashion! 😇
Love this ❤ I just finishing cooking dinner, and all the clean up after while listening to these stories, and wonderful accent❤❤❤
Love this stuff, Thank You..
Love to watch these when i knit. Live your work thank you Paul 😊❤
Thanks, I appreciate your work.
Fascinating stories beautifully narrated by a handsome man ❤
Love this man. His research is very thorough
Once again another excellent episode. Always enjoy your presentations and your voice.
Wow Paul you are the best on RUclips, 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.
@@straingedays yes , me also , I seen it first on murder maps
@@margaretdurant2756 You can find the court transcripts on "Old Bailey online" website. Enter Keyword Manning, year 1847. It shows no statement made by Marie & Frederick (as portrayed in Murder Maps-In fact, nothing shown in their court reconstruction scenes appear in the transcripts).
I've used the Old Bailey website during family tree research and often those on trial here weren't recorded as speaking in their defense ; If so, it was but a few words. Opening statements were reduced to facts of Law. Closing statements by attorney & elaborations on verdicts by judge were not recorded.
A more detailed / complete transcription was likely reported in newspapers? Paul got it right saying the Manning trial was longer than usual, it's the longest trial transcript I've seen throughout my research (however, my family & in-laws only got done for simple larceny, or pick-pocketing!!😅)
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?
She had converted to Catholicism. I suspect that she viewed her confession and prison sentence as an act of penance
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!!)
Paul. I so enjoy your stories and the way you tell them.
Really enjoying these long video compilations ! They’re helping me get through long days of housework ❤.
All of your on site shots make me want to live in a small English village even more =^_^=
I do enjoy your narration, you have the perfect voice for sharing stories. Thank you.
I love these videos. Listen to them to help me sleep. You would be a great narrator for audiobooks
Absolutely splendid. Yours is such a tremendous channel for folk like me, who appreciate grim bygone deeds, presented with careful factual deliberation. You've got the proper enunciation of English that only the Scotch (other than urban glottal-stoppery) can provide. Bravo! You, and your channel, are effin' great. Keep going - you are wonderful presentor.
Yes, the speech of this gentleman is exquisite! 👏👏👏
I could listen to this presenter for hours. Telling the story with honesty and passion...thank you 😊
Brilliant, love your show❤
Once again Paul,another brilliant long video. Thank you so much ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you for this compilation.
Very interesting.
Thanks for the compilation, Paul. It's still hot here, so I might have mango ice cream for BREAKFAST. Or maybe some Ube cream pie...
I have ADHD.
Ube like purple sweet potato?
Are you in Japan?
Those have more nutrients and antioxidants then Garnet Yams, the pink ones.
@@ashleelarsen5002 ADHD is not a problem. Yes, we have a lot of Filipino people here in Vancouver, Canada.
You are a perfect idea of a Gentleman of Great Britain. You entertain me greatly. I feell like 19th Century company.
Well told stories Sir thank you for posting
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😢😂
🔴 Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up! Particularly with the compilations/marathons! 👍👏
Brilliant story teller, enjoy listening to every one
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.
I've only recently found him I've watched a few crime channels definitely one of my favourites
He kept saying "stepbrother", but wouldn't it be 1/2 brother?
Paul is a great presenter
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.
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.
Ahh Mr Paul my weekend warrior 🪖🪖😁
Fascinating cases . New to this channel and here to stay . Such a great narrator
Absolutely fantastic! I am doing electrical work today, so finally had time to listen to this in its entirety.
Brilliant work!
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. 🤔
It was nice to spend a few hours with Paul...all that's missing is a couple pints and some crisps
His voice is nice and soft and lulls me to sleep so easy .
EXCELLENT ! STORYTELLER PAUL GRODIE. EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE. THANK YOU . FROM, U.K. (2023).
Goody! Goody! Goody!
Thank you for this long upload!!
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?
Go back the way you went down.
Thank you for another wonderful video
Great storyteller!
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.
NO NEED TO YELL! RUDE!🤓
This is the most amazing channel. Thank you for your wonderful presentations I can not wait till your next program. Be well and safe. Thank you.
Never Ever DOUBT A DOG Barking...
This guy is awesome❤
I’ve been a member of this channel since the beginning and have enjoyed every yarn you’ve told me. I hope to hear many more from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hi from Welly 😊
Well, I Never…I fell asleep to true horror stories and woke up to this fine gentleman and now wish to binge some more 😊 great stuff Sir.
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.
Fantastic narration of these gruesome crimes. I wonder if you could look into the mrder of donna guildbanks.
Amazing !much Love❤
I can't believe I'm just now finding this channel. Absolutely brilliant, I love it. New sub, thank you.
I love that he states the facts and not his opinion
Love your work Paul very interesting
Always great coverage and detail in each case. Also love the voice
I always enjoy your stories thank you and merry Christmas
I really admire the fact that your quotes are clear as you when the start and end! Accurate research and reporting!! Journalist extraordinaire!
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!!!❤
Thank you for helping me sleep❤
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 💖✌
As always...enjoyed
The way you told the story of Marie Manning and her husband and lover was delightful, as was the telling of the Brighton Trunk murders and "Pretty Feet". How unusual for murders to be re-visited years after investigations and the death of the accused parties.
