Madeleine McCann: The Drama Made Kate The Victim — And The McCanns STILL Disowned It

Hours before Channel 5 aired Under Suspicion: Kate McCann last night, the McCann family released a public statement on their official findmadeleine.com website. The statement was short. The language was careful. And the timing was deliberate.
They said they had not been consulted. They had not given consent. They had no involvement in the making of the drama. They said it would not help, and that programmes like this always have a negative impact on their family.
In a video we posted on this channel earlier this week, we asked a question that seemed provocative at the time. Could the McCanns sue Channel 5 for putting this drama on air? They have not announced any legal action. But the McCanns have spent the last fourteen years suing the original lead Portuguese investigator over a book that suggested Madeleine died accidentally in apartment 5A. They have a documented pattern of pursuing legal action against anyone who depicts the case in a way they consider damaging.
So when they release a public statement hours before a Channel 5 broadcast, saying they were not consulted and had no involvement, the question of what they intend to do next is a fair one to ask.
But here is what does not add up.
The drama that aired last night made Kate McCann look like the victim. It painted the Portuguese inspectors as the aggressors. It framed her eleven hours of questioning as a hostile interrogation. It positioned her "no comment" responses as the actions of a grieving mother pushed beyond her limits.
The drama was in the McCanns' favour. So why are they still disappointed? Why are they still saying it does not help? Why issue a public statement at all distancing themselves from a film that portrayed them more sympathetically than any documentary or news piece in the last nineteen years.
Watch until the end for the full context.
