The point isn’t that Barry George made a scene at HAFAD in order to create an alibi. It’s that he made a scene at HAFAD because making a scene is what Barry George usually did, wherever he went.

Later, when it dawned on him that he might become a suspect, he (understandably) wanted to know exactly what time he was at HAFAD. As he did then become a suspect, I’d say this was quite prescient. I didn’t say it was deliberately prescient.

Of course, when police finally got around to interviewing George and asked him where he was on the day of the murder, what did he initially tell them? ‘I was at home alone all morning.’ Literally the worst alibi in the book. The sort of thing only a bonafide idiot like Barry George would pick.

AF's house, where Jill lived, was in Chiswick, 40 minutes from Gowan Avenue. Broadcasting House is 30 minutes from Govan Avenue AND Gowan Avenue is not on the route from Chiswick to the BBC headquarters. Very much not.



Farthing was and is a gynecologist, already renowned at that time. He did not work from home, he worked in a hospital.

AA route planner says 16 minutes from 4 Bedford Close Chiswick to Jill Dando's house.

Consultants often write reports, letters to GPs, papers etc from home. I don't know if AF did, but it would not be unusual.
