Incredible guts and stamina to do such a climb without fear at his age. The incredible thing as you look at him climbing this steeple is that another video on youtube shows him explaining how he put such ladders there in the first place!!!
Thousands of people in complete unison bereft of any indiviuality… and that’s just the crowd!! A controlled and brainwashed population. How can a parade be so perfect yet be so frightening and ugly?
This was a compelling study shown on television in 2002 which explored the social and psychological consequences of putting people in groups of unequal power. The programme now is used by the Open university and the findings have since been published in leading scientific journals and textbooks. That’s why the 4 disc DVD is available at a special price of £100 at Pearson’s publishing!!! Makes me sick the exploitation of educational resources.
I remember feeling the psychological pressure of the guards just watching from my armchair. It gives a small insight into what it must be like to find yourself mentally harassed by people you can’t escape from. The inclusion of the shop steward introduced into the prison as an inmate and subsequently taken out of the study becvause he was so good at negotiating that he nullified all conflict was interesting.
This is the first series of the (British) Big Brother and it still is uncomfortable viewing. At the time it was dynamite and Craig went on to win on the back of him confronting Nick. Seems tame now considering the general standard of housemates today and Nick explained later that he went in to the game thinking it was OK to try and win, which also seems reasonable today.
Incredible courageous documentary on the subject of assisted suicide, presented by Terry Pratchett and featuring Peter Smedley, a 71-year-old motor neurone disease sufferer, committing suicide at the Swiss assisted dying organisation, Dignitas. Overwhelmingly moving,with Terry Pratchett, himselff being diagnosed with Alzeimer’s merely asking the question, ‘Should we have the right to choose to die if we wish?’
I remember watching this programme when this debate happened. Although this series featured Tim Rice as the presenter, he had replaced, wait for it- ex Prime minister Harold Wilson, as the host of the late night talk show. The result is history as they say. Michael Palin gets very angry but John Cleese is magniicent. It is a lesson to us all that you can argue your case but still remain respectful of your adversary. I think the Python duo especially treat Malcolm Muggeridge very courteously while showing a little contempt for the pompous Bishop of Southwark.
