You didn't miss it Verdi, 'twas but another bit of bait to keep the punters on the edge of their seats. 21 July (I think) she promised a 'treat this week' for supporters and sceptics alike. Guess what? Still waiting . whistling

I don't know, but maybe she has a TV channel taking her film - if she has it'll be up to the station to announce the film, not Sandra. And TV stations plan months ahead, so it could easily be some time yet.
Maybe pigs might fly if you throw a bucket load of swill high enough into the air as a little incentive.

My guess is (and it is only a guess) she hasn't got a taker, never has had, never will have, so is now floundering about hoping the nasty little affair will disappear into the ether. Having said that, when all else fails there is always YouTube as a last resort, which in this case I feel should have been a first and last resort.

Hope I'm wrong, I've long looked forward to this documentary with all it's frippery - still waiting with pregnant anticipation to learn the name that will shock us !?!

If mainstream station won't touch it with a bargepole, no chance it will appear on youtube, just my view. I suspect her half-baked documentary isn't libel proof being the main reason why mainstream station won't touch it and therefore the risk would remain the same if she were to air it on youtube.

Given her background and her lackluster track record what are the chances of her capability to produce a libel proof documentary ,never mind a factual documentary, on a high profile case that is bound to attract attention and by extension unwanted trouble for the entity that dares give it air time.

I suspect her film will never see daylight for a very long time, if ever.

I agree - any previous reference to YouTube was but jest!

There is however still a glimmer of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. According to Ms Hutton's grand finale, parchmented with tender loving care for Sunday quality time with her nearest and dearest..

"..would be supporting Sonia's documentary, not trying to stop it.."

So obviously it's still a work in progress - or a dead decoy duck?

@snook wrote:I think it is disgraceful. Cashing in on Brenda's death. I understand someone asked if she had the family's blessing. She dodged the question.

snook, whatever the collective may or may not think, the Coroners verdict following the inquest was death by suicide. Up till now there have been no known criminal proceedings relating to her death nor do I think there ever will be. According to her own family she had a history of depression and attempted suicide so her tragic death could be the result of a culmination of unknown events. Clearly she was mentally ill.

IMO it's totally inappropriate for Ms Poulton, or anyone else for that matter, to use the tragedy for self-aggrandizement or to sensationalize a proposed documentary slash film. The true reason for death is a matter of conjecture, not a fact that she was driven by a combination of Sky news, Brunt and the duck lady dossier. This may well have been a contributory factor but FACT it is not!

Besides, I thought the documentary slash film with the working title 'The Untold Story of Madeleine McCann' was supposed to be the untold story of Madeleine McCann. Brenda Leyland is a by-product not a major component. This is Ms Poulton's downfall - her mouth runs away with her before she engages her brain, examples of which can be seen in many a Poulton.com video. Once in motion she doesn't even stop to breath.

The woman's a liability.

Interesting !
She said she has to ask permission first before releasing the trailer but didn't say who from? Taker? Lawyer?
Perhaps the teaser release is a giveaway she has not got any taker.

One would think the taker naturally would control/own the right to promote, advertise and/or release of the film in parts or whole on the product they'd booked/bought. It does not make good business sense that the taker would allow her the liberty to show trailer at her will, and of all places on youtube!
Of course conversely if there has been no taker then the product remains with maker to do as she pleases.

Of course I could be wrong, but what are the chances of a stupid mainstream taker not issuing terms and conditions to control product they acquired?

@robert_mctavish No. That's my feeling. Pls note that's the trailer not full film. This has been a phenomenal journey, bigger than thought.

Stating the bleeding obvious.
Who is stupid? She obviously assumed her supporters are (stupid).
Opens her gob and in goes foot! sigh

Phenomenal journey for who? Her?
This 'LOOK AT ME' thing...bragging.... is really getting tiresome.

Get on with it woman ffs... just put on the film, trailer whatever...

She needs to take a leaf out of Richard D Hall's book.
No courting publicity by him, no bragging etc. just getting on with the job and thereby producing something worthwhile, in fact excellent.
She is trying to garner sensationalism. It's not working.
She is using another tragedy on top of Madeleine's to promote herself.
Pretty sickening.

Did anyone expect Brenda Leyland was to become the main focus in her Untold Story documentary on Madeleine? The tribute to Brenda Leyland trailer thing is a bolt out of the blue.

It leaves one pondering if the trailer is just a face saving tactic, her trying to climb out of the hole she dug for herself.

She's a user.
She used her side kick who did us no favours who simply wish for the truth of a child's demise, or herself!
Now she is using Brenda as a platform.
Brenda's family showed tremendous dignity in their time of sorrow.
SP could and should take some lessons from them re dignity.
The hullabaloo SP has caused on the back of TWO tragedies shows her up for what she is.

Sonia Poulton - A record of tweets.

Just a word or two of explanation:

Selection of tweets re the documentary in date order from bottom to top.

"Production Company" = Mr Dave Eden

"Production Company prepared to fund it before broadcast deal" = Poulton persuaded Eden to work for free and promised he would be paid when the documentary was aired on a mainstream channel, for which Poulton said she would be paid 'loads'

Quite. If she is of the persuasion that the Mcs are hiding something & willing to document this in visual form there is no way that SKY would give her a bucket to sit on, let alone their sofa.
