thanks for putting up this thread man, i have just read it and put it on but hope its not too confusing 50 minutes in!

I always felt absolutely terrible for that guy. He was just a civil servant and he was torn to shreds for doing his job with some kind of dignity.

All_in_black · 17th March 2005, 11:16 PM

Well that was very interesting indeed.

Hecate · 17th March 2005, 11:44 PM

what the programme or the thread?

seriously though i agree with your sentiments and feel pretty speechless watching it. you know the story but seeing it dramatised does bring it home even more.

did you log on to channel4.com to chat with the director after?

Although excellent I hope too many people werent put off/confused by the time jumps that seemed to happen. Each of them was important to get the context of what was happenning so I dont know if the clips could have been in chronological order but still!

So yea, gets a great overall, although I dont think Gilligan would like his portrayel hehe.
