First viewed : 6 August 1991
This was a two part mini-series about America's most notorious serial rapist, necrophiliac and murderer, Ted Bundy. It was broadcast in the U.S. in 1986 but not shown here until 1990; in the intervening period Bundy had gone to the electric chair in Florida. According to his lawyer, Bundy had shown no interest in the film.
Bundy was played by TV movie king Mark Harmon. The series understandably couldn't show the detail of Bundy's crimes and, indeed, couldn't fit them all in, so it concentrated on his modus operandi of chatting up young women on bogus pretexts and the long hunt to catch him. It was pretty good with Harmon's habitual shiftiness deployed to full effect.
