Just had a chance to watch Panorama again. The programme seemed to raise more questions than it answered.

One of the things that Gerry McCann said in one of the earlier interviews, was that the parents took it in turns to check up on eachother's children. This wasn't strictly true, as the programme showed, Gerry McCann only checked on his own children at "just after" 9pm, Jane Tanner checked on her own children at 9.15pm, but Matthew Oldfield claimed that he checked on the McCann children at 9.30, but strangely only saw the twins and not Madeleine through the open bedroom door (even though Madeleine was in between the twins?). It does make me wonder if Mr Oldfield checked on them at all. I wonder if the others kept their doors locked & the McCanns didn't?

Jane Tanner's claim that she was back in her apartment by 10pm is a bit odd. She said she checked on her children at 9.15, before the starter was served at the tapas bar. Assuming she was gone for just 10 minutes, that means she had the starter, main course & possibly a dessert, and got back to her apartment in the space of 35 minutes. I wonder why she left the tapas bar earlier than any of the others?

Another fact that emerged, was that Gerry McCann also said "They have taken her" when he phoned his sister. He used the same strange words as Kate did, when she returned to the tapas bar!

The most interesting part of the programme was when they interviewed Kate McCann's Mother, Susan Healey. She said "Well I have to say that I'm suprised that Kate & Gerry left their children at all, and I thought about it a lot because they are such caring parents, and I think, why?" If she can say that in public, it makes you think what she has said in private!

Also, I wonder why Kate was so desperate to talk to her priest that night. When she phoned her Mother, she asked her for the phone number of Father Paul Seddon, the priest who married the McCanns & baptised Madeleine. Even her Mother seemed suprised by this. I wonder if either of them has ever been asked what they talked about?
