    Oh, I think I'd watch it too - although only for the moment when the police busts in. Suicide is illegal.

    Used to be, death penalty has been abolished in the UK now. I don't think it's even illegal any more, as most attempted suicide people are just given counciling, not arrested.

    Channel 4 is getting very Extreme!

    Do you remember when they did the first ever public autopsy on TV since god knows when. They got all these ppl in a room, and filmed them cutting up a body. They sliced a real brain up like it was sliced bread, it was disgusting!!!

    Then they also did that show where they joked about paedohphiles. Now that got a few complaints remember?

    It's probably a blank pistol anyway or it expands so it doesn't fire, the usual magican high-tec trick.

    That's just an autopsy.... It happens to almost everyone after they dead. Well, i think it does. It's mainly to find the cause of death really, so if you find someone with a bullet hole in their head, chances are they died of being shot in the head.


    That brass eye was a good show. That episode with the paedophiles, if all those complainers actualy paid any attention, they would realise that they were taking the mick outta 'em.

    Ok, as a non-Brit, could you explain what "Brass Eye" is? Is it a news show, or some sort of shock appeal show? It sounds interesting, thus why I'm asking.

    Brass Eye is a spoof current affairs programme. It's absolutely hillarious. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's the successor of their spoof news show "The Day Today". Both from the mind of Chris Morris. Great stuff.

    If I ever get caught committing suicide, I sure hope <b>I</b> get the death penalty. Thats a bit like giving money to someone caught robbing a bank.

    Lies, "Brass Eye" was far superior throughout its sadly short lifespan.

    I seriously considered registering to these forums as "Shatners Bassoon" or "Joss Acklands Spunky Backpack".
