I haven't watched the following two yet. They're still recorded though. <br /><br />Pat - I have always been aware but it was a very strong reminder and a great example of strong storytelling. <br /><br />Tom - At some points I was really squirming, but yes, I was riveted. <br /><br />Wendy - I was thoroughly engrossed before I realised how strong it was going to be. As with books, I think some part of reality has to be there, to make it real. There is a lot of trouble in the world in which to tap into unfortunately. <br /><br />Sarah - I'm not sure why I noticed this. I think I was lucky to have been browsing the planner that night, but how it was written up didn't give you a real feel for what was to come.<br /><br />Gwen - Yes, we do make some good drama's, but like everywhere, we also have some duffs :)<br /><br />The internet does need to be treated with respect when you use it. People often thing there are no repercussions because they are sat in their own homes when they use it.Rebecca Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194524230109997420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795778813532831447.post-48563974633506934092012-01-09T19:39:52.641+00:002012-01-09T19:39:52.641+00:00You people in the UK have such good shows. *sigh* ...You people in the UK have such good shows. *sigh* I can't say I've seen/read something that's made me question my actions. Or if it did, it was so brief that I don't remember it now.<br /><br />But yeah, that touches on two 'horrors' of the Internet. That things never go away and privacy is gone. And it doesn't even have to be this extreme, I recently read a blog post about someone getting fired because he posted his resume on LinkedIn and checked the box stating he was interested in career opportunities. And so many companies google potential employees. <br /><br />So make sure you watch what you say, or just use a fake name. I've heard those are rising in popularity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106399041059595196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795778813532831447.post-89516725606770016892012-01-09T02:37:23.671+00:002012-01-09T02:37:23.671+00:00I think I should take more notice of what's on...I think I should take more notice of what's on TV, I hadn't even heard of this one.

I don't know if I'd have the guts to watch though.<br /><br />I recently read a book that has left me in an equally contemplative mood as well. Its called Purple Hibuscus written by a Nigerian author. Its has made me question how evolved we, that live in very patriochal societies are. The kind of abuse, darkness and hypocracy that came through made me believe that all was not fiction as the story sounded very similar to those I had heard being told by the locals in Nigeria.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530886181437955643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795778813532831447.post-52499708815190160152012-01-07T15:30:35.510+00:002012-01-07T15:30:35.510+00:00Very interesting.

The bind the prime minister was in the entire time is great, and the ultimate resolution shows that not everything has a happy ending. A lot of writing lessons there. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338442071159262864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795778813532831447.post-56270452009577053582012-01-07T15:20:52.924+00:002012-01-07T15:20:52.924+00:00It sounds very disturbing...

But then I think I have always (since the internet anyway) been aware of the power of social media but as you say, it comes home to you loud and strong in a story like this. Great post to make us all think...Writer Pat Newcombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678017709861817691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795778813532831447.post-63948328125664985962012-01-07T14:13:41.882+00:002012-01-07T14:13:41.882+00:00I watched this too.

But what struck me the most was that any situation - no matter how absurd - can drag you along with it if the writing is good, or in this case fantastic.<br /><br />I also watched the second one in that series, with the third still waiting.Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
