Eastenders

[murraymints]

Wow..that was powerful....

[tonyav]

Won't be watching it until sometime tomorrow or Sunday, minty.

I take it that it was good then ?.

[murraymints]

Very hard hitting...

[Zacs-Master]

Ain’t watched it yet minty. Hope it was better than most ep’s this week which have been a classic case of overacting. Even by Bonnie. Difficult subject and I applaud their attempts to publicise and empathise but, please, get some better writers....and actors (apart from Bonnie).

[ummmm]

It was sad.

[tonyav]

Was it the funeral ?.

[murraymints]

That episode has probably done more good in getting a message across in 30 mins than countless hours of debate and documentary....

[ummmm]

Yes...and interviewed families of stab victims.

[murraymints]

Yes tone...and more...

[tonyav]

Thanks both.

[Zacs-Master]

I’m not sure many people who perpetrate or commit crimes such as that being focused upon were watching. Unfortunately.

[sherrardk]

I thought it was awfully sad, the bit at the end was really sad - made me cry.

[tiggerblue10]

Is it on catch up?

[murraymints]

If it helps one parent to take control...

[murraymints]

It is Tiggs

[sherrardk]

Tigger - if you've got sky you can watch it on demand.

[tonyav]

Or on BBC iplayer.

[tiggerblue10]

Oh good as I need to catch up on quite few episodes.

[murraymints]

I would show that to every school assembly in the UK

[DarceyK123]

I agree, they should show this to all schools.

My Grandson is 11 and goes to a Police Academy type of thing where they cover this type of thing, and stuff like terrorism which at first I thought might be too old for him.

But he really enjoys it and if it gets thought to just a handful of youngsters it's worth it.

Though having said that knife crime is getting much worse, not better.

I really, really wish I knew the answer, but alas, I don't.
