Oh. That was a bit upsetting

I watched this last night, well until i realise it had turned 9 o'clock and and the kids were still watching upstairs... then i ran up the stairs like lightening to switch it off (they are only young) and put them into their own beds lol

It was eye opening to dsay the least and to think alot who end up in that situation dont get away

Thanks for posting that, El Loro.
I was aware that the Whitney storyline had been written to tie-in with the Red Nose campaign, but it hadn't really ocurred to me that there would be a special episode (as you say, it's rather at odds with the typical Red Nose sketch), and I didn't watch any of the Friday Night show...

Thanks for posting that EL, I didn't watch Red Nose and would have missed this otherwise

I taped the Comic relief prog as I was out ,I watched that sketch,I thought it was about victims of abuse.It wasn't clear to me,I don't watch EE.

Thanks for the link

Wow what an anti-climax that was.    I know this is a serious subject but this was a pretty lame and dull bit of telly.    .Thanks for posting the link though...

I thought it was a great sketch, tbh. Not by Whitney, but the scouser fella (Rob) and the blonde girl who was sitting on the sofa I thought brought the drama and realism to it. They couldn't go too far due to the time it was shown I suppose (and the BBC wouldn't go too far, whereas if it was on C4 it probably would have been more gritty), but I was glad that it highlighted other issues of concern besides Africa.

(NOT that I'm saying Africa isn't an issue because of course it is)

Thanks  El Loro

Good point Karma...  And of course we know you're not saying Africa doesn't matter ...   Just that there are many issues to be concerned about.

He sounds about as scouse as David Beckham!

Ok, he may have been from Manchester (But I liked the accent!)

I feel I have to put disclaimers into to stuff like this cos, you know....

I saw the Whitney sketch on Sunday's omnibus edition. Agree that Rob and the girl were convincing and it highlighted what goes on in real life for some unfortunately. Watched tonight's EE and the continuity, as usual at times, was frustrating. Whitney escaped from the house so why on the following day isn't she back on the Square?...did the couple in the car help her or not? did they take her to the police or not? it's frustrating when they carry a storyline over too many episodes
