The outrage buses telly must be broken????
"The man who headed up the investigation that caught Ivan Milat has slammed the Seven Network series about the convicted serial killer, saying parts of it were pure fiction.
Catching Milat, a dramatised mini-series about the investigation into the backpacker murders in NSW's Belanglo State Forest, concluded on Sunday night."
Former assistant police commissioner Clive Small, who was the superintendent on the case at the time, said the role of detective Paul Gordon, played by actor Richard Cawthorne, was "pure fiction from start to finish".
Small said Gordon was not the man who caught Milat but there was a team of more than 600 police that worked extremely hard to catch the killer.
According to the former detective, Gordon was only on the case for about five months, as opposed to the two years shown in the teleseries.

"I can tell you that quite a number of the people on the taskforce and quite a lot of other people that were associated were very upset
And I think the show has also shown a fair deal of disrespect to the family and friends of the victims and I think that's a
bit unnecessary and upsetting
A bloke wandering around Belanglo state forest with a fist full (just) punters in a Toyota Tarago with a compass and some weird entrepeneuria lskills causes the outrage bus to skid to a resounding halt yet 7's series that was piped into millions loungerooms whether you want to watch it or not passes by like Sterling Moss on steroids
......... and nobody pushes the emergency stop button.............
"Baaaaaaaaaaaa," said the media and the throng chimed in with a resounding "Baaaaaaaaaaaa"

The tv program WAS fiction, based on the story.
Where was it stated that it was a documentary?
