Anyone here watch the Mark Thomas Product? What you think of it?

I think it's great. The drug dumping thing they covered last week was fab.

C4, 11:00pm tonight.

    I think that show is brilliant. I've seen him twice at his live shows he's a really cool guy. It's one of the only programmes I watch on TV at the moment.

    It's also really good how politicians in perticular are very cautious around him, and don't like giving him interviews etc.
    I wish it was on more, but it's only a six part series <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Hes a genius, the episodes about Nestle were shocking. And about the Church of England having shares in nuclear weapons countries.

    Best episode was in his first series, mind, he bet the shows budget on the horses and made the show from his living room <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Anyone watch tonights episode?

    Just shows how fucking incompetent and a waste of fucking space the Lords are. Moaning about Christmas cards and ignoring things that really matter.

    Bastards.

    I think he would be a lot more convincing if he quit the unecessary swearing.
    Every other word seemed to be 'fucking' tonight.

    Hes a comedian with a point, comedians swear. Its a fact of life, hes funny, thats all that matters.

    Pity he had to mention the Bradford City fire though <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Tonight was the first time I saw it. Interesting. Did not seem much like comedy though?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Cant say he has the same politics as me but he is very funny and very good at what he does..

    I loved his last series.

    I thought the episode (if that's what you can call it) with the organophosphates in was v. good, but i think that's more related to me - my uncle has organophosphate poisoning. It's an issue that needs awareness raising about because there are so many people who are unable to work each year due to the unwanted effects of organophosphates, because they're everywhere. Actually, what am i saying?! They're all issues that need raising awareness of, that's the whole point of the show! *is being a little dim*

    Bollocks!

    I didn't know that it was back on....
    I religiously watched the last 3 or so series and love it! Grr...

    Always make time for the prog. Can't say I agree with the class war shite, and sometimes he sounds like Steelgate, but I love his total lack or respect so the so called 'authority' figures...

    Always nice to realise that I'm not a cynic for the hell of it...

    Didn't surprise me. I have always thought that a healthy disrespect for politicians would be right up Balddog's street... <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    He did a great show on Michael Meecher and his thousands of houses...Hilarious when he was messin around with the register of MPs interests..

    and the show where he used the freedom of information acts to get copies of all documents that mentioned him from certain companies....Brilliant <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I have a problem with the kind of thing going on in the program. I dont have a problem with govts selling to govts.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    govts selling to govts.
    even "bad" govts, I couldn't condone selling arms to countries that are going to use it to repress there people, also very poor countries.....

    Don't get me wrong, I do like Mark thomas, but I don't think this series was as good as the previous ones. The trouble is I think he always makes up his mind before he sees the evidenc e- which means that when he's right, he's very convincing, but when he's wrong, it's just embarrassing. One or two epiisodes of this series I thought were very unfairly done, obviously heavily edited to make the pliticians look stupid, and basically scraping the barrel because he can't very well say ;actually, I was wrong, these people aren't as scummy as I thought.' Im thinking of the drugs dump episode: I don't remember all the details now, but whilst much of what he said was true, there were some bits which just seemed like he was determined to win the argument whether he was right or wrong. ie the fact that those countries agreed to take the drugs - I know they must be difficult to refuse but equally you can't only blame the pharaceutical companies.

    I certainly cant name a single country that doesnt do that in some form or other.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Finland?

    Are you going to come up with some really annoying examples?

    The fact is that whatever you sat there IS a difference between Colombia or Indonesia and countries like Sweden or Canada.......
