The "gentle giant" doesn't sound very gentle to me. "Stupid oaf" would have been more accurate. And they make it sound like this wonderful thing that he actually kept in touch with his childen after the divorce. We also don't know that he wanted the money to take careof his children, as they keep on saying. He just wanted to pay off his debts.
"Stupid oaf." Brilliant description. I haven't heard those words for a long time. I left England years ago when I was a child. I'm assuming that's where you are. I'm going to be using those words from now on. Oh, I'm laughing. I can't wait.
I think the selfie was an accident, i think he was looking at his face using his phone to see if there was blood he could probably feel and just accidentally took a pic??
You could be right. It just makes no sense that he would want to take a selfie. But then he took the phone all the way back home without turning it off. Not the smartest guy.
I agree with this, the guy was so stupid he probably used the camera, instead of the mirror function, to check his face, taking a picture partly by accident. It wasn't a diabolical incident, it was a stupid mistake by a stupid man.
She is an 'Evidence Analyst', a professional crime detector, which means she could be seeing this type of thing daily, as part of her job. Her sensibilities would be different from your average Joe's.
Yes I noticed the constant smiling right away. It is so incongruent. Doesn't she get the gravitas of what's going on? The taking of a life? This reminds me of all the hundreds of pop singers who are singing a tragic ballad or tragic love song and they're smiling all the while they are agonizing over painful memories. Even Frank Sinatra did it.
@@Joelswinger34Even so, i found this episode was particularly bad. At times, it seemed they had barely finished repeating something when they reworded it slightly & tacked it on. They must have had an awful lot of commercial breaks. 😄
This whole video could have been 15 minutes long, if not for the constant redundancies. It was made for commercial TV as a 1 hour show with 15 minutes of advertising to hide that fact
Oh no, not another ignorant child in the comments. 🤦 It is not redundant. I understand that in the second grade you are taught the concept of "redundant" and are eager to use your new vocabulary. However, in later years of school, as you learn more about writing, you will learn the concept of emphasis. Emphasis does not mean putting text in all-caps, which is rude. However, since that's your preference, I will include some all-caps, so that maybe you can understand it at your level. First, it isn't redundant at all. A person can take a selfie of themselves WITH OTHER PEOPLE in the same picture, so in some cases one may need to specify that a selfie is of one single person, not including others. In this documentary they were emphasizing that he took a selfie of HIMSELF AT THE LOCATION AT THE TIME. It is important to emphasize that it was HIM at THAT LOCATION at THAT TIME. You could also say "he, himself, took a photo." That is not redundant. That is EMPHASIS. Hopefully you've learned something that you can use to impress your teacher as you enter the third grade this fall.
Love this episode: eccentric rare book dealer, lives in Oxford with no security system, murdered by an oaf who places for sale on eBay a book that is being looked for by the global rare book community. The oaf receives a life sentence for premeditated murder which means he is out in 13-years. It doesn't get more British than this. Well, perhaps we need a spinster lady who momentarily is a suspect. Very sorry the dealer was murdered but this was a glorious story.
i think he clearly had some mental health episode when committed the murder , not just being daft as they all think. anyone who lives in the um knows about cctv and how many times a day everyone gets filmed by it. this alone tells me he wasn’t thinking straight
As a huge fan of British shows, I have realized that they just cannot do a decent real crime show!! All th "experts" talking the same thing over and over again is exasperating and unnecessary
Hmm, maybe look a little deeper - there are plenty out there. Police suspect number 1 - 24 hours in police custody. Then if you want more shows like the overly dramatic Cops show from the US you have motorway cops or police interceptors. There are many many more but we tend not to glamorize their crimes.
Much concentration on the victim's phone which was, of course, invaluable in tracking him, but so was the fact that he advertised the missing book on eBay which also would have alerted the police as well as rare book collectors. I am curious about the unexplained dainty woman's shoe in the photograph of the stolen book.
I'm just fascinated by the story of this horrible pointless murder and the subsequent tracking down of the murderer, and I've watched several RUclips videos about it. Maybe it's because I love Oxford, and I loved the tv Inspector Morse series. I love books, too, although I wouldn't pay £50,000 for a book just because it still has its dust jacket! I've got a paperback copy of 'The Wind in the Willows', published in 1961, which cost 3 shillings and 6 pence! Who remembers shillings and pence? Before decimal currency, we had 12 pennies = 1 shilling, 20 shillings = £1. I must have been 13 or 14 when I bought this book, and I still re-read it now I'm 76! My favourite character is the Mole and my favourite chapter is 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn', which makes me cry when the father otter finds his missing son, with the help of the great god of nature, Pan. His image is on the dust jacket.
You probably won't see this, but in 1967, Pink Floyd released their album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Don't know if you knew this, but thought it might amuse you.
Thank you for your comment. I didn't know about Pink Floyd's album. Most musical or dramatised versions of TWITW focus on the obnoxious boastful Toad. I prefer Mole because his character is similar to mine!
What an ignorant comment. You are clearly a teenager who has no concept of the cost of food or the cost of housing and utilities. Your comment is the equivalent of one of you young folks thinking, "if I skip lunch today I can afford a PS5!" Ridiculous.
They act like they only found him because he left the phone on. Without the phone, they probably could have traced that book pretty easily. It was amusing to watch them discuss this crime whilst trying to keep a straight face. 😅
Good documentary. There's no reason for all the kids in the comments to be so rude, putting their own ignorance on display for everyone. Kids just don't understand what makes a good documentary. They'd rather be watching RUclipsrs talking like Burger King foot-lettuce and saying "bro" and "bruh" every other word and trying to out-do each other in how many f-words they can cram into the video. 🙄
2016- Oxford England - A brutal murder of 42 year old Adrian Greenwood. A rare book was taken from the victim. A 50 year old man named Michael Danaher was interested in rare books owned by Adrian Greenwood.
If he hadn't taken the phone, he still would have been caught--he was selling the unique book, and he was on CCTV. YT wants me to pay to watch a video about this....and why should I do that, when I've already learned the whole story already?
Wasn’t it also a mistake to immediately put the book up for sale on eBay? They would’ve found him. It just might’ve taken longer if he didn’t take the victim’s phone.
Like they said... it's such a small crowd of traders... the book would show up sooner or later, since they're the ones producing that value. You couldn't get £50k for a book from the likes of you or I.
Who has not accidently taken a selfie? And since a selfie is self-explanatory.... why do they so comically keep repeating " a selfie of themselves"? One never takes a selfie of someone else.
@@streaming5332 What for ? To post on sundry social media accounts, Facebook, Instagram, dating sites, etc., they also use filters so its not really a ' selfie ' anymore, in my opinion, its an ' avatar ' of sorts.
Even without the help of a judgmental, gloating, typical fool policeman/detective like Mr Peter Blecksley, we can see that Danaher's 'styooppidity' was off the scale, for a murderer, because he was a pre-meditating burglar, not a killer.
Not a good advert for engineering..usually you think logically....so the start of this saga starts way before...getting into so much debt...and how....
The Pie Jesu? It’s likely from a recording by a choirboy - possibly from Westminster Abbey choir or similar. There have been lots of recordings- Charlotte Church first became famous for it when she was a child

....another cliché like "bubbly and sociable" which actually could mean loud and trashy.
If I get to the end of this and the narrator does not say about the killer, "the judge threw the book at him", I'm going to be a bit disappointed.
oh LOL

Linda Geddes, smiling profusely while describing killing someone with a kitchen knife at 18:11. So bizarre imo. Oh, and creepy too.

He was so…unaware and unbothered, it’s astounding.
Certainly not gentle! It pisses me off that they keep calling him that.
Stupid is the word that came to my mind!
Why do they have to say everything 3x- I guess they think we're thick
Many people are. But as intelligent as you are, surely you know that thus would have originally been aired on TV with commercial breaks?
Probably for Americans
it is for the americian viewers

A "selfie of himself" is redundant. You don't take a selfie of yourself, you TAKE A SELFIE. A selfie is a PHOTO of yourself, created by you.

Jesus Murphy!! This sounds like a dark comedy movie!!!!
I can't stop laughing. He put it on eBay.
Please edit out two of the three "experts" who say the just repeat the same information. I vote for the two who said, "he took a selfie of himself."
Exactly. Ever watch the video on the Hungerford murders? Even worse. A psychiatrist expounds on human foibles we are all, already aware of. Gag
How can he be bothered with covering his tracks when there's so much eating and drinking to do.....
🤣
And reading a rare book....
In the U.S. we have shows like "America's Dumbest Criminals" and "Dumbest Police Chases" etc. Human behaviour is irratinal for sure.

Right. Are they trying to fill time or talking down to us like usual. The snobbish tone is a turn off.
Look up Mark Macguire and Well, I Never. Both are excellent true crime UK channels. Granted, not proper TV shows, but excellent.
It was originally presented on broadcast tv with ad breaks. The repetition across ad breaks is very common on both US and UK tv.
I usually watch murder mysteries on 48 hours because it is presented very well and keeps it very interesting to watch
What kind of murderer takes a selfie of himself?
Who else was he going to take a selfie of?
True. Selfies are taken of one's self, aren't they? You seldom take a selfie of your dog.
You do if you are next to the dog
Oxford is paradise.

He even looks daft.
And he's an actor playing this part.
Three experts all saying the same thing serves to corroborate the claims.
You mean they are trying hard to make us believe all criminals are just poor, misunderstood victims, using r"experts."
This would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.
It was the second known crime but he sure seems callous.
Michael Danaher - was portrayed by Ewen Mcintosh from the Office (Keith)
seems like as a criminal he is more like Wily E Coyote.
But Wily gets crushed by an Acme rock. Or Acme something....
They act like they only found him because he left the phone on. Without the phone, they probably could have traced that book pretty easily.

My mother was a book lover and we had books like that all over when I was growing up. We never made a point to keeping many of them- too bad.
Danahar's fatal mistake was being born.
Lol😂
Lol😂
Not correct ...he didn't cause that bit
Mr Greenwood could be related to Alan Cummings imo
Wasn’t it also a mistake to immediately put the book up for sale on eBay? They would’ve found him. It just might’ve taken longer if he didn’t take the victim’s phone.
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Really? A 50,000. lb book, not in a safe deposit box but kept on a shelf at home. No CCTV, who was more foolish?
Like they said... it's such a small crowd of traders... the book would show up sooner or later, since they're the ones producing that value. You couldn't get £50k for a book from the likes of you or I.
The cabinet had a lock, and probably an alarm. You would have to be a Rare books collector, to understand. I used to know one.
That’s a heavy book 📕
DENNEHY'S PROS AND CONS LIST:
Pros: Cons:
1. I'll be on easy street 2. I'm definitely not a pro
Not worth the consequences of murdering someone for only £50,000.
Michael Danaher is from Peterborough? I thought he worked at a paper merchant in Slough.
Poor

Why does this show have 3 different people repeating what the last one just said. I find beyond redundant and annoying. Compelling Evidence!!!!
Very boring, the same info was repeated over and over again.

Great job stretching a 10 minute story to 42 minutes

Bad title. It looks like it was written mid-stoke by someone using English as a second language.
Too long!
A modern day Endeavour episode
I feel no pity for those who bathe in the millions of dollars they have stolen from innocent people. I feel justice was served in this case.
Who recognize the music of the woman singing? Who is it?
The Pie Jesu? It’s likely from a recording by a choirboy - possibly from Westminster Abbey choir or similar. There have been lots of recordings- Charlotte Church first became famous for it when she was a child
It was the theme music for Silent Witness.
Laughable sentence.
Dumb and Dumber!
Excellent production about the stupidest crime story of the week. Or maybe the laziest criminal, which would fall under stupid.
