Did anyone watch these? I only saw the first one but ... :speechless: :speechless:
An incredibly well put together and well thought out look at modern society and media.
Great TV

Yeah fair play, he really holds a mirror up to the media on the ridiculousness of some of the coverage.
Did you see the 2011-wipe? All good stuff.

I saw the first one too... at the beginning it seemed just so far-fetched, but by then end I was totally believing the scenerio and was feeling really upset and disturbed by it. I started watching the second one but just didn't get into it and so turned it off. Wish I'd have seen the last one (or at least tried it).. I guess there'll be repeats at some stage though so I'll have to watch out for them. Does anyone know what the last one was about?

I haven't watched this but I got told that there's a scene in it where the Prime Minister has his way with a pig on TV. I don't know whether to laugh or cry?!

That's exactly what happens.
The whole thing was shocking but really put a mirror up to the way society is at the moment.

I only caught the first one. It was very odd viewing. Left me with this uneasy feeling for days. Been meaning to watch the other two.

I nearly cried... definitely wasn't stuff to laugh at - it's weird isn't it that if you describe the plot to someone they would laugh, but it was made in such a way to really affect you and make you believe it all. Disturbing
