Do you think this is sensitivity gone too far? Or is it right that the programme be cancelled?
Personally, I think that they should show it - it sounds as if it could be quite interesting.

No-one seems bothered or insulted (or as excited as me) by the fact that it's a whole show devoted to an explosion.
Pop Idol!
Celebrity Wrestling!!
The Explosion Show!1!7
A sliding scale for ITV there, but infinitely better than anything on BBC.

Most of them will come from Arnie's Commando film.

What a good idea.
Actually, recently I read an article which had calculated that children will witness on average 13,000 deaths on fictional tv within a given period of time that I forgot.
When you look at it that way, surely there must be some effect from that. But nobody seems to know what it is.
As for this, it sounds quite interesting actually.
It seems to be Hammond's top gear tradition to smash stuff up and label it an 'experiment', but I don't have a problem with that :^)
He does the 'Should I Worry About...' (or something) series of scaremonger TV shows on the BBC too. Last week he did a feeble, half hearted rape of Supersize Me. Today he did something about preservatives in food. I get the impression he's quite short... of ideas.

Stupid. About the same level as banning every single programme/film that contains an explosion.
I don't watch anything on 5 before 9pm.
and not much after either. :)

I'd tape it if it was the woman who presents Braniac. Ruins my day it does when I put Channel 5 on and he's presenting it.
Heh.
That's still no help. :D

He's also the guy that does Brainiac.
i think it IS too over sensitive, to ignore history to save possibly upsetting a few people is a bit much. by that logic, films like American History X would never have been made.
most people are capable of taking something on it's own merits and i fail to see how a documentary about a historical event is in bad taste just because a recent news story also involved something going bang.

Not the smarmy one who did the worst drivers thing?
