Reg

[maggiebee]

Anyone watch Reg on BBC1 at 9 pm tonight. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed it.

[douglas9401]

Aye, not a lot of jumping up and down, just told the story, good stuff.

[Ken4155]

Yes maggie, quite well done imho. Then again, with Jimmy McGovern writing and Tim Roth starring, how could it fail?

[Dodger666]

Excellent programme. I think most of us knew a few details of Tom Keys' death but not all the other stuff too. I certainly didn't know Frederick Forsyth and the former BBC war correspondent Martin Bell spoke up for Reg during the Sedgefield election campaign.

I don't think Tony Blair came out of too well. I am looking forward to what Chilcot has to say about it all.

I had missed it in real life - completely

why was Reg allowed to dress his son's body ?
missed that bit ....

[Dodger666]

Yes, I thought that a bit strange too. At first I thought that maybe Reg was a funeral director. If he had permission off the funeral director to dress his son's body I would have thought he would not have been left alone to do it as shown.

I hope there was a easier way out of the cellar than up those stairs.

[Peter Pedant]

no the cellar
I have seen Six foot under .... (sozza perhaps not consonant with the prog)
