Seeing you break composure about Dr. Crippen's bathroom bit bought so much light into an otherwise dark story. I enjoyed that so much I had to rewind and rewatch!

[@patriciayoung3267]

Oh, that was lovely.

[@VanMorgue]

Saaame! Delightful part!

[@kimberlypatton9634]

Yes! Paul! Your momentary loss of composure..totally delightful and only makes you that much more endearing!

You cracked me up with Dr. Crippens bathroom argument with his wife. My goodness! IF I was to argue with my husband about him accompanying another man to the bathroom, he'd have me committed. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of all the many tellings of Crippen's case, yours will always be my favourite. Watching you try to control your bafflement and little skit about a man not escorting a male guest to the loo is always a delight.

[@pimpozza]

Compilations are much appreciated .. especially a compilation of shorter tales that aren't long enough for a single video. Appreciate all you do, Paul.. fascinating cases! 👍

[@WellINever]

Thanks again, Pimpozza. Really appreciate your support 🙏

[@janeriddle1196]

13:59 I can’t believe this guy just seamlessly fused all three of my favorite subjects into the first 14 minutes of this video- true crime, history, and poetry- ARE U KIDDING ME?! This channel is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Bravo sir 🫡👏🏻

[@juliestrickland7754]

My daughter woke me up this morning at 5:30 and as I was going to lay back down I saw the notification for your show. I was SO glad! I love listening to your voice and love the old world vibe you bring. Good job, please don't ever stop.

The Dr. Crippen "escort" gaffe is still my favorite, Paul 🤣

[@cherietillapaughhott1012]

I love it when you leave the bloopers in exactly when they happen. It tells us that we're allowed to laugh at obvious absurdity. Thank you for being human, and such a great story teller! I've actually watched this particular episode at least 3 times, and it gets me every single time!

[@lunaskye621]

I feel so sorry for Yvonne. I find it truly sad that someone who knce claimed to love you would then be so disgusted by your mere presence. It's clear he never actually loved her and only realised this after many years. She deserved better than him. Truly a tragedy the turn her life took.

[@MikadoYuma]

I agree with you, here I am being pumped about her being let free 200 or so years later 😅

[@tosspot1305]

Can you imagine if roles were reversed. No way on earth would they have acquitted a man

[@josephcollins6033]

Thank you for these! My beloved, late husband was an Austrian cop; I learned so much from him, and all of it was fascinating. You present the cases clearly and with such gentle elegance that they don't seem crude or sensationalistic in the telling. Bravo!

[@cruisepaige]

“Austrian cop” sounds Nazi terrifying.

[@gavalar7485]

I'm obviously not alone in loving the fact that you let us peek behind the veil of your usual rock solid composure and laugh at the bollocking Crippen got for not carrying out his toilet duties. I didn't think there was much more to learn about the Crippen case but I will forever think of 'Toilet-Gate' from now on. Thank you!

[@patriciayoung3267]

I really like the changes in location without skipping a beat in the narrative. Very effective. Also your voice is wonderful and calming. Even the most heinous crime sounds better when described in such a calming manner. I would like to see compilations of shorter stories. There are many stories to tell that don't have a lot of information available for a longer documentary.

[@lindahobbs5545]

I love your channel. So glad you left your little blooper in there. It was hysterical! Thanks Paul!

[@chrisking9000]

I love your show, especially the longer ones that explore a common theme. And you're always so nattily dressed. Love your newsboy cap! Keep up the good work.

...Pierre got what was coming to him. His treatment of Yvonne in that day was brutal; when statue mattered, her embarrassment of his pompous flippant cruelty of his wife drove her to sheer madness. I don’t agree with what she did, but in that day, divorce just wasn’t an option!

[@HermicraftAddict]

Agreed.

[@chloeuntrau4588]

This is ridiculous! you don't get a death penalty because you are unfaithful!

[@VL4DST3R]

@@chloeuntrau4588 she even said that while not agreeing, it felt warranted. Funny though you felt the need to defend his actions.. 👀

[@DoctorWu23]

Did he deserve to die? Maybe not, but it is very hard to pity him with how immensely abusive he was. Very easy to pity his wife, who seemingly attempted everything to reclaim her dignity.

[@KyrieChii]

Yeah, I'm only a few minutes into the 'Pierre' story & I already hate the guy. Your partner deciding to be with someone else _always_ sucks, but at least in today's world, the wife would've had the option to divorce in an equitable manner. But back then... Divorce (which only _he_ could ask for at that time) would've completely destroyed her reputation, likely gotten her shunned by society/kicked out if she attended a church, rendered her financially destitute & completely un-date-able, & worst of all: she may have lost ANY rights to their children, even visitation would've been completely up to him (& you _know_ he'd never have allowed it, & would've had them calling the mistress 'Mother'). No, I don't agree with her killing him, & there should've been _some sort_ of punishment for it, but it's so hard to blame her for the desperation/frustration finally reaching a flashpoint =( I wish we taught young people, even my age (late 30's) more about what life was like for women during that era. So much of it is over-romanticized.

[@penneycason9269]

Yes please. Your voice is soothing and story telling is superb. 🇦🇺

[@your_belief_vs_everything]

True Crime for history enthusiasts. I'm appreciative of all of the details you've included which give the stories much needed depth and context. While most true crime channels tend to rely on sensationalism which can strip the stories of their real world implications and the victims of humanity.

[@PeriLyons123]

Fun channel! Cora Crippen was pretty clearly the body in Dr. Crippen’s cellar: her head and torso were wrapped in Crippen’s pajamas. Poor Ruth: the transcripts of her trial, show her to be a very clear eyed, no nonsense and straightforward woman. Very likable, except for the whole “murder” thing. But she was obviously suffering from severe PTSD, and should never have been executed. Really enjoy your work! Looking forward to more! Well played you.

[@jessgunn6639]

well if it was cora then she was a man cos the dna tests they did on the remains came back male lol

[@WellINever]

Thank you so much, Kels.🙂

[@bilindalaw-morley161]

Thank you for leaving the blooper in! On a serious note, I liked it that you opened the subject, saying "As many people believe" I have doubts, too. What if Belle killed one of her lovers.? I'm serious. She'd have a lot more time to dismember the body for starters. Then she made one last gesture of contempt for her husband and disappeared. No notice, no letter. She did take a few of her things, mostly ones that wouldn't be missed. It wasn't unusual for women back then to just have a few dresses so she left behind the 'showy' ones. "Gone Girl" could happen then too, perhaps more easily. When her friends started getting suspicious and hounded him, he made up a story that was probably close to the truth. So he trapped himself.

[@jenmdawg]

This is why I’m against the death penalty - we don’t get it right every time and feeling bloodthirsty doesn’t help. (Also - it’s shown to not help victims loved ones, costs more than life in prison and is not a deterrent).

Your dignity for all involved in these cases is admirable. I've seen far too many true crime channels and presenters who either overly exaggerate the events or disrespect the wishes of families of the victims or perpetrators. Sending support from West Virginia in the US!

[@MsSteelphoenix]

Poor Yvonne. She was exactly what you said - a good woman who had been treated appallingly. I have little doubt that she intended to kill herself with those weapons, and only took them up in desperation. And poor Ruth. She had such a hard go at life - if she'd only had a better opportunity, I doubt she'd have gone to such lengths. When all someone knows is abuse and violence, they know no other way to react.

[@trevorbevan587]

Thank you so much for presenting these excellent reviews with such accuracy and interest. You have a remarkable talent for putting yourself, as the narrator, right at the centre of that particular period. I was an 8 year old schoolboy at the time of Ruth Ellis's execution, and I can say for certain that Capital Punishment "brutalises" society. I never quite got over the trauma of being so aware of the efforts which went towards getting Ruth a reprieve and yet, the British State, still killed her. Congratulations to you; for all your excellent efforts to bring these stories to our attention.
