Watch it!! It really was interesting, even my attention scan managed two 1.5 hour episodes!! Patsycat, last week, I finally caught up with one program you mentioned a while back: This one is not pleasant viewing but s worth watching
Indias DaughterIndia's Daughter is a documentary film directed by Leslee Udwin and is part of the BBC's ongoing Storyville series.[3] The film is based on the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman who was a physiotherapy student.[4][5] The film was scheduled to be aired on TV channels round the world on March 8 to coincide with International Women's Day. However, when excerpts of the film, which included an interview with Mukesh Singh, one of the four men convicted of the rape and murder, were broadcast, a court stay order prohibiting the broadcast was obtained by the Indian police.[6] The BBC complied with the request and did not air the film in India, however the air date was moved forward and the film was broadcast outside of India on 8 March. The film was also uploaded on YouTube and soon went viral with various shares on social media. On 5 March, the Indian government directed YouTube to block the video in India.[4][7] The film and the Indian government's decision to refuse its broadcast has created a great deal of discussion in India and around the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%27s_Daughter |

It is a documentary that should be seen all over the World. And the fact that India banned it, just goes to show how much they treasure their daughters. Not. They put a burning candle on You Tube etc. Wow.
I am not a racist, but during watching that i felt a hatred and sadness and lots of emotions.
It really affected me, and friends that have seen it.
Good that you brought it up here, perhaps some people have not watched it. And should. It just touches the iceburg of what women go through day after day.
Maybe not me, but i live in a country where women are respected.

I have not seen it but cannot comment. But I understand in the UK and Australia for example it is ilegal to publish names or identifying details of rape victims for example.
If this does this and the film had been shot in the UK would the BBC have been able to run it.
Frankly we need more details of why it was banned before any judgement could be made.

If this does this and the film had been shot in the UK would the BBC have been able to run it. Frankly we need more details of why it was banned before any judgement could be made. A decision on whether to lift India’s ban on the broadcast of the rape documentary India’s Daughter now lies with Delhi’s chief justice after a court refused to temporarily overturn it. A two-judge bench at Delhi’s high court cited “emotional” media coverage as a reason it could not rule on the ban. The British film about the rape of a student in December 2012 is widely available to watch online. India's Daughter review – this film does what the politicians should be doing This documentary, which focuses on the assault of Jyoti Singh on a bus in Delhi in 2012, may not contain much that will surprise Indians, but its determination to shed light on the country’s rape crisis should inspire change Read more A division bench headed by the chief justice, G Rohini, will now hear the petition, filed by two law students, on 18 March. Rohini is the first female chief justice of the Delhi high court. Last week Delhi police went to a lower court to prevent the broadcast of India’s Daughter by an Indian TV station on International Women’s Day. But after it was shown on BBC4 in the UK, the film went viral on the internet, attracting a huge audience in India and widespread discussion. The documentary ran into controversy even before it could be screened when excerpts from an interview with one of the four convicted rapists, Mukesh Singh, were played on the NDTV channel. Singh seemed to attempt to justify the rape, and said the woman should not have fought back. All four men were sentenced to death a year ago. They have appealed to the supreme court, which has yet to fix a date for the hearings. The Delhi high court felt the broadcast of India’s Daughter could influence the judicial process. “Judges are not superheroes, they are not from outer space,” said justice BD Ahmed. “They can get subconsciously pressured by emotional media trials.” Arguing against the ban, counsel Naman Joshi cited the case of Black Friday, a Bollywood film that inspired the British director Danny Boyle to make Slumdog Millionaire. India’s Daughter documentary receives star-studded premiere in US Read more The release of Black Friday, a film on the 1993 serial bombings in Mumbai, was stopped by a court in 2005 as some of the accused felt the film would prejudice their trial. But once the trial court gave its verdict, the supreme court lifted the ban. In the case of India’s Daughter, the trial is long over and the four men on death row have not objected to the broadcast of the film. The ban on the film has created a peculiar dilemma for Indian people, especially in universities. It cannot be screened publicly but is widely discussed. “It’s impossible to not talk about the documentary,” a college professor told the Delhi Times. “Whether we teach political science or literary theory, it’s very relevant. The students have seen it, and it’s being discussed in classrooms.” www.theguardian.com/film/2015/mar/12/delhi-high-court-indias-daughter-film |

My usual diet of downloaded documentaries are military based but I also appreciate a decent war movie providing that at least 50% of the film is factual. Just downloaded the new mini series 'Gallipoli' (7 episodes), so I shall start watching that tomorrow. www.imdb.com/title/tt3577058/?ref_=nv_sr_2 |

Excellently made and easy to follow but I wish that they had censored out the real nasty bits. |

I used to change alongside someone who got his sons to kill his wife, while he was out of the house. If they made that into a movie, no one would believe it.

It's light entertainment for me .Just finished the first two seasons of ''Merlin'' A Taffy B.B.C series concerning King Arthur and a great cast of characters in it too, well worth watching in my view. Pure escapism from the pressures of modern life, just what entertainment should be. www.imdb.com/title/tt1199099 |

Been indulging in a bit of nostalgia of late courtesy of YouTube.
Who can remember this great entertainer?
A showman indeed on both television and the radio.

Thats why they scrapped it.
I did enjoy laying on the sofa with a bottle of Vino watching Poirot, easy watching. That went on for 20 years, Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings was brilliant.....
