'All Quiet On the Western Front', is possibly the only truly anti war film I think I have ever seen. No heroic deeds, no journeys, no stirring score, no nobility, no survivors, just endless, pointless, horrific, death.

I am always baffled by people in the arts (Louis de Bernieres in The Times yesterday) saying they don't watch TV. Given TV is arguably the most important art form of the last 50 years, it's like saying you don't read books, or listen to music. Why would any artist admit to that?

Mark Field didn't assault a woman because he was scared of what she might do. He assaulted her because he WASN'T scared of what she might do. She was a woman & so, he calculated, she prob wouldn't fight back. And even if she did, he was likely to be stronger. Which is pretty low.

Completely agree with Derren here. It's not that he doesn't deserve punishment and censure, he did something wrong....but it's the level of opprobrium, the relish in the judgement, and the desire for his total annihilation that is as disproportionate as it is fucked up.
I must be morally dim - I don’t see why a TV presenter’s intimate business should lead to public persecution. Makes me so uncomfortable. Having to ask friends why anything terrible has happened, why it warrants such shaming, and why it’s supposed to be endlessly my business.
