The Fall Of John Thurtell The Radlett Murderer

[@tango6nf477]

Very detailed story you must have taken a lot of time and effort researching this one, well done and thank you.

[@shamudogsmith1751]

Excellent, as always. I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber who appreciates the hard work and detail you put into your channel. Thank you.

[@orwellboy1958]

Nice to see you back, my friend.

[@jerrycruitt5375]

Good to have you back in the saddle. Good job as always. Thank you.

[@ammiller3911]

I love these old stories! You are an excellent narrator too.

[@steveosullivan5262]

Man that was a tale well told. I really enjoyed that.

[@roberthine6127]

Fascinating, I grew up , in the sixties, just outside Radlett. My Mother's parents lived in Gills Hill Lane. I'm pretty sure part of Gill's Hill Lane was signposted Murder Lane. I often wondered if a murder had really taken place there. Excellent video.

[@mareoo7]

Can't help myself not to mention how I used to live there, same address, number 5, in 2000'

[@mancroft]

Excellent and fascinating as usual. Outstanding research. Thank you.

[@tammyhanlon3057]

Well, that was interesting and so was the first one I listened to about the bridge collapse. So, I subscribed and told my dad about your channel. Thank you

[@alanthomas7630]

i always enjoy the detail you go into, must take forever to edit it all, well done and thank you for your work.

[@jojohnston4113]

Glad to hear a new presentation. A terrible event but an interesting story.

[@robertlove9796]

This was an excellent presentation and the narration was excellent. I have subscribed and thank you for your efforts. Rob.

[@russellnixon9981]

Another great murder and disseat, as always very well told and researched, good to have you back. I hope and look forward to hearing more of your Norfolk historical tails.

[@TheEudaemonicPlague]

"disseat" Well, it took me a minute to figure out what you were trying to say. The word you want is "deceit".

[@billfriendo2]

Excellent as always! Currently binging all of your fantastic murder breakdowns, especially loving Norwich’s history as a resident there!

[@mauricedavis2160]

Excellent, repeat excellent episode Sir, thank you!!!🙏👌🦉❣️

[@BrianJones761-wc4hu]

Great video and possibly one of your best. Thank you.

[@debby-ex6ir]

Love your videos - this one is GREAT!!! Thank you for wonderful entertainment. I love England and the history and psychology of true crime is always interesting. Your hard work is most appreciated.

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Thank you

[@neilshearer7513]

You are a fantastic story teller, I really enjoyed listening to this. Thank you for all your hard work researching and presenting it. Given John's problems in school, I wonder if he had ADHD or something similar? Or perhaps he was just a wrongun.

[@brandyjean7015]

Packed off to the Navy & war @ 15...

[@alittlebitofhistory]

He might have hard to tell as things like that were not thought about back then, same as many that I covered.

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Not uncommon at the time. Army drummer boys could be 9 or 10.

[@mpol701]

I agree adhd most likely

[@davidhollingdale5408]

Oops! Sorry! As I was saying .. Just tried this Channel for the first time. Good attention to detail, and a more obscure case than most people cover (I'd never heard of it).I especially liked the wrap-up,telling the fa

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Thank you I do try to make them as detailed as possible and wrap everything up.

[@johndashwood7671]

Wonderful. I'm a great fan of Borrow and it's good to hear the detail of Thurtell.

[@MrsJHarrington]

Very well researched, interesting and informative! A terribly sad and scary story but excellent presentation!!! Greetings from New York USA

[@damedavidfrith55]

Thanks for another cracking vlog very interesting and informative 😊

My first hearing and am so impressed. I agree with the others. Thanks for letting us hear this. 😀🐈‍⬛

[@nataliedyson1851]

Very well told.

[@jlg375]

Excellent. Great research. You make it sound so interesting.

[@ATT-02]

Thank you! Very enjoyable! Now iam back to work! 😀👍

[@rodeastell3615]

Thank you ... excellent video

[@WelcomeToDERPLAND]

Man... Imagine becoming Mayor of the town where your son was just hanged...

[@mikeoxlong7086]

your narration has a very staccato delivery

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Is that good or bad?

[@rattlacottagebakery7830]

Great story researched in such detail. I used to walk along Gills Hill Lane in the dark on the way home from school in the sixties. There was the remains of a burnt down summerhouse where it was reputed a man had once been murdered and beheaded and his head rolled downhill into a stream.

>Bought my kid a business he doesn't want >The business fails 😮

[@VMM34]

I couldn't sleep and got so engrossed in this telling that i forgot to even try. It was super! John specifically going off to buy pistols just to beat the man to death with them just shows his fantasist nature.

[@Megaflytron.]

You've really done an outstanding job on your content, and i don't want to negate the appreciation with constructive criticism. Try moving back just a bit while speaking; your levels aren't necessarily off, just your plosives, taking away from your narration as they are overcompensated and sound...uh...kinda like an English cousin to daffy duck that had speech therapy??? If that makes sense anyway. I think just a bit of space from the mic would work...

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Thank you for letting me know, keeping more space between me and the mic should be easier now as I am no longer using the one built into the laptop I am reading the sprit from so hopefully this will improve.

Press Gangs used to fill the crews of British Ships was a continuous bone of contention with America. Mutiny was often always just over the horizon, thus the Royal Marines chief duty was to suppress such, or even the idea among the crews. Contrast that with American Navy crews which were voluntary. Among Americans, the Royal Navy was a considered a threat to the American Navy right up to and even shortly after World War I

[@rozdoyle8872]

So well told , Thank you. If only John hadn't tied that cannister to the unfortunate Dog's tail. I guess it proves that every Dog has its Day.

[@kimmccabe1422]

Great documentary! It was if I was there.

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Thank you

[@christopher-ke9nj]

It's damn easy to end, up, a criminal in the day, pressed men given the history bloody incredible they served as well as, they did, Kings Service not what anybody would call a surprise. God rest him

[@patrickwalker2357]

Very interesting, But you speak for the fast , slow it down, much slower. Please

[@bennettcawley4630]

I didn't know this until a week ago but if you tap the screen as if to pause it a gear icon appears in the top right corner. If you tap that, a menu pops up and there's an option called 'playback speed', and you can tap that to speed up or slow down the speed of the video.

[@alittlebitofhistory]

Thank you for letting me know I do try to slow it down. I also tend to over edit gaps out. I will keep an eye on it in future.

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

Pretty normal speed of speaking in my opinion.

[@ralphe5842]

His final words were so British

[@davidmg1925]

Good story.

I couldn't agree more I have covered several people who today would have been diagnosed with something.
