I'm planning on watching.  Let the tosser try and sue, that should be a laugh.

What time is it on at? cos I might not be back from college till about 9.30pm?  Might be able to +1 though  but I agree it does look interesting

i thought it was going to be more about attitudes to capital punishment and his role in it was more alegorical.

It's on at 9 but I'm watching it on 4 plus 1 coz I need to see Flashforward first.

Oh damn!  I was going to get my knitting out!

Will I need my 3D glasses?

I haven't gotten mine yet!   So far, I have only seen one thing that they are advertising that I would want them for.

Nah. Sounds like exploitation of people's natural distaste, just to make money.

Sounds about right for Channel 4!

Apparently it's meant to spark a debate.  Sounds like a crock. I'm with Charlie Brooker on this one.

Me too Crossy.

       "What with this and the previous Killing Of George Bush drama-doc a few years ago, the Channel 4 family is establishing itself as the home of thought-provoking celebrity death fantasises. Now they've whacked a president and strangled a paedo, what next? How about a two-hour drama-documentary that wonders what Britain might look like if al-Qaida attacked the Baftas? Lots of detailed close-up slow-motion shots of bullets blasting through the ribcages of absolutely everyone off Coronation Street, that kind of thing. It'd really kick-start that debate about terrorism we're all gasping for. Perhaps it could solve it altogether.

Or what about a mini-series showing what'd happen if you kidnapped a bunch of newsreaders and X Factor contestants and kept them on a remote island and glued masks on their faces and fed them LSD and MDMA for two years until they started killing each other and rutting the corpses and shoving bits of blunt stick in their eye sockets and howling at the sun? That'd help society explore its relationship with authority, celebrity, identity, controlled substances, sex, violence and sticks. And God knows we need to. Help us, Channel 4. Guide us. You're our moral compass. You're our only hope."

God I LOVE Charlie Brooker.

Charlie Brooker

Apparently this drama  imagines that the death penalty has been restored.
It seems a bit spooky  to use a real living person to demonstrate this premise.
The Guardian says the anti-death penalty point of view is barely represented.
So it doesn't sound impartial to me.

Normally called 'The Civilised View'.

You do see Danjay.

We are girly liberal
Far more than you are.

I'm liberally girl.

Amazing isn't it? One is hanged, and the other dies peacefully in his own bed and is later on interviewed by top TV star Derek Acorrah.
Again! It's one law for the ordinary working classes and one for the rich white middle class.

I watched it and at the end was a bit like 'right, put the kettle on'. Didn't leave me questioning or having any debates with myself. He's still an ignorant dickhead who takes no responsibility for his actions and who IMO would be better off removed from the planet. Still, it killed a cold hour on a Monday evening. Ho hum.

Showed him in a bad light?  I think he has managed to do that himself - evil monster.  I wish they would hang him

What's happened to him?  In real life, I mean?  Is he in this country?

That's the last I heard. He'd arrived here and gone into hiding.

I thought he arrived here but was sent back again cos the UK didn't want him

He was in the paper the other week, can't remember where he is staying in the UK though.  You wouldn't have recognised him - looked totally different.

couldn't send him away again even if we wanted to as he's a UK citizen, besides is it fair to inflict him on another country?

Didn't he try to leave the country at one stage and was stopped?

No, he tried to go to various other countries, but nobody wanted him.

watched it though it was a load of shite. Poor actor though to have to sport that ponytail
