No
What would be the benefit and to whom?
I suppose the beeb might make a bob or two, but at whose expense?
No it’s a really bad idea

[Hopkirk]

Like Titanic, they could create a fictional love story with tear jerkiing ending.

[bazwillrun]

bbc only showing it because of the ethnic slant...they can tick a few boxes...its the sort of thing they like to do...

[dustypuss]

No! unless some good comes out of it.

[tomus42]

I think it depends how they do it. It will inevitably happen - there are films dramatising the Titanic sinking - the only question is whether it's too soon and/or too 'entertaining' as opposed to informative and helpful.

[douglas9401]

No, but thanks for asking.

[anneasquith]

Ya I, I’m surprised mods have not removed your disgraceful post. You are aware this disaster did happen and people died ?

[ynnafymmi]

I dont know what you are on about.Who are you speaking to?Who is Ya?

[ynnafymmi]

Aye,thanks mods.

[ichkeria]

Depends what’s meant by “should”
I don’t think it “has to be” but I think there is no reason for an embargo on any dramatisation .
Anyway, looks like it has already been and will be again

[Peter Pedant]

Is this TTT being woke
or is he teasing again - and coyly asking a silly yet clever question with a knowing smile on his face? ( mush), as his mensan mind demands

Let your answers reflect what you think his frame of mind is
( oh he has one, does he? ter daah!)

are there things we should not show on stage
yes dogs - - things that dont drag in the audiences
anything else?.....anyfing I mean....

Barnum: no one ever lost money underestimating public taste.

Like Moat are there lessons they DON'T want us to know they havent learnt?

Yes One: that has been swallowed - One warner said: I reached the fifth floor before I found anyone who knew what 'fire!' meant. The rest wdnt answer or said - "me no no" and closed the door

[Peter Pedant]

eek that lesson is: if you are in England, you have to speak English

anne: "Ya I, I’m surprised mods have not removed your disgraceful post. You are aware this disaster did happen and people died ? " - It's a valid question, one being asked in various media circles at the moment. The BBC are planning it several groups are against it it. Why is it disgraceful to offer it as a discussion topic on AB? People died in many disasters that have since been turned into film and TV, remember the Titanic?

[William51]

No. I think it is too early to do this. In ten years time may be the right time.

[davebro]

Are they also doing a dramatisation of the Aberfan disaster?

[davebro]

damn savages...

TTT Anne's comment was not referring to your OP but to one around 22.25 which was removed.
