    Interesting, just poorly presented.

    Emile Cilliers sabotages his wife's parachute just ahead of a jump, miraculously she survives, that comes just days after a suspected murder attempt by tampering with the gas, Fiona Bruce investigates.

    It's a real shocker of a story, I will never forget it, as it happened just days before I did a parachute jump myself (for the first and only time!)

    I will never forget the shocking revelations, and the bizarre stories that followed it, even after Emily was sent down.

    It's decently presented, though I'm not sure this journalistic style simply doesn't suit Fiona Bruce, she plays to the camera too many times, the story speaks for itself, it didn't need unwanted extras.

    Why on Earth did Victoria refuse to criticise him, there's wearing rose tinted spectacles, and then there's this, it just seems baffling, The Police must have felt pig sick that day, you can only wonder if Victoria felt pressured into detailing events, and chose not to.

    6/10.

    Fiona Bruce absolutely ruins this documentary

    You'd think Fiona Bruce would let the story speak for itself. But instead she makes snarky remarks throughout and turns her nose every two minutes. Why is she trying so hard to insert herself into the story with her pathetic remarks? She made the whole thing unwatchable.
