The Nailbomber

Some parts of the doc will make you think the clips were from pre-World War II but no, surprisingly from 1999, which in the grand scheme of things, isn't too long ago. Makes you wonder how much hatred exists in this world, and how openly so.

It's only 70ish mins, so I feel like this was an opportunity missed to tell the story about the larger picture in Britain but they chose to give a brief summary of the entire set of events, so it didn't really feel like a 'hunt'. There are so many movies, tv shows and docs about the events that happen in the US, but a sizeable audience hardly knows what's going on in the UK.

Could have been a 4 part doc, but sure. A short one is fine too.

What these people did, and their ilk, deserved nothing less than the death sentence. Despicable excuse for human beings.

But once has to ask. Why now? With tensions in the world reaching critical mass, why now choose to bring this story to the globe. Just something to think about.

There's certainly an interesting doco in here but it's very poorly produced.

None of the participants in doco are identified and producers try to be way too cute in how it's all presented.

Subject is interesting but program presentation lets it all down.

Just boring, not important scenes. No USA forced drama but the harsh facts just don't seem interesting.

Could have been a lot better.

The story is gripping and the plot was a golden opportunity for the show-makers. What was needed, was to exploit the reason for racial wars, go deep into their activities in Britain, to explain how they convince members to hate, and what was the modus operandi of a spy who infiltrated the BNP. But what we got was a half baked cause and effect POV from the spy and some other characters. Better sequencing, storytelling and character buildup would've made Manhunt: Nail Bomber as good as the Manhunt series. But this was bland and at times boring, with very few moments that pull you in. Disappointing.
