Violent TV programmes

?Better be careful what you watch Bradfordlass!

When I was a kid, I went to the Saturday morning cinema, exclusively for children. It was called The Tuppeny Rush, even though it costs sixpence.

When I came out of that session, I WAS Hoppalong Cassidy and used to gallop down the road beating my hip and shooting at bandits and coyotes....rife in Bradford's street at that time

The films affected me so strongly that I have no doubt whatsoever they do the same today.

Didn’t fancy Luther but I do enjoy murder dramas not for the murder but the solving of the murder

I saw the last episode of Luther and was revolted and disgusted by it.
I think it does brainwash people into a sense of indifference towards violence.
It may reflect a very small section of society, notably gang culture, which needs to be identified and exposed and exterminated.

Bridgeit probably a bit of both!
My DH sometimes wiles away an hour or so watching b&w films on ch 81. They have many murder mysteries and police procedurals. I do not think the awful things people do to each other have got worse..we just see & hear more about it..and it is in colour!
