Oh, a number of things.

Stick with the NHS, stick with my wife, stick with my natural teeth.

I do question some of his choices.

I mean, dressing up as Sherlock Holmes while undercover on a boat wasn't his greatest moment.

But all things considered, he caught Crippen.

Yes, I'm a fan.

I know I'm diving in very early with this, but do you think Crippen murdered his wife?

Well, because, you know, some people, not me, other people may say that, you know, there's sort of elements of doubt hung over it.

So you think it's, as well as the sort of underlying misogyny, that there's an issue with effectively the genre of true crime creating a sort of illicit thrill around alternative narratives around all sorts of criminal cases?

Do you think part of it, as well as, you know, different power dynamics playing out around gender and class and race and everything, is that there is something in human nature that, in a way, wants to understand killers so that we can avoid getting killed ourselves?

How was Belle portrayed in the media after she disappeared?

And did Crippen really get her new teeth?

What happened to Ethel after the Crippen trial?

OK, let's think about the policing for a moment.

Sure.

Do you think, with what he had, Inspector Dew did a good job?

Let's move on to the legacy of Crippen and the trial and the crimes.

Do you think men are effectively always going to be the protagonists when retelling the stories of past murders?

You know so much about how criminals cover their tracks after committing terrible crimes.

So you know all the tricks of the trade.
