This, which is presumably an official biography, says McVicar did an external London degree in prison, and doesn't mention the OU. A quick google shows confirming evidence for that, and none that he did an OU degree. -- ajn ( talk) 13:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the information on McVicars degree is likely to be incorrect. Firstly, according to the OU's own web page here [1] a BSc. award was not offered until 1992. Secondly the OU did not offer named degrees until the late 1990s so he could have obtained a degree from the faculty of Social Sciences but it would not have specifically been named as a "Sociology" degree.

His second book on Dando is "purged of the chapters recounting 'personal experiences' which McVicar claims were the product of poetic licence for the most part."
