ITV's Raoul Moat drama 'horrifies' ex-police chief
The police chief who led the hunt for murderer Raoul Moat says she is "horrified" his crimes have been turned into a TV drama.
He went on to shoot traffic officer PC David Rathband who was finishing his shift in a marked patrol car in Newcastle. PC Rathband lost his sight in both eyes and took his own life in 2012. "I was absolutely horrified when ITV told me they were going to make what they called a dramatisation, which means they don't have to be quite as factual with the events as they would have to be if they were using a documentary title," she said."I've read what the producer had to say about how they wanted to highlight the views of his victims, highlight the police, highlight the journalist [involved] and to, in effect - and these are their words - demonise Moat.
"This is within a generation. The reality of it is this is purely just for the glorification of a terribly tragic incident. It just seems to be the worst type of television to me."For what end is this being done other than to make a huge amount of money for the people involved?"I asked them if they had all the facts. They said they were working with people who'd been there at the time.
