Listened to a programme on BBC Iplayer today - Victoria Derbyshire interviewing Kate and Gerry McCann, originally broadcast at the beginning of May.
Was really interesting to note how much MORE media savvy they've both become....VD asked them directly what they'd say to people who still say they shouldn't have left the children alone - neatly batted away by Gerry who said  the real focus should on an "innocent wee girl who's missing" (conveniently ignoring the indisputable FACT that she wouldn't BE missing if they hadn't left them alone!!!) and when asked why Madeleine's case seemed to gather more attention from media and subsequently the public than any other missing child, Kate equally neatly batted that away, by saying that ALL missing children should get that kind of attention (how many parents can afford Max Clifford??)

Talk about well-rehearsed stock answers to these questions.....you could almost see them reading the agreed party line...

I listened to the interview mostly because of the discussion on here, to see if it'd help me change my mind about the McCanns - all it did was reinforce my view off them!!
