Government shameless propaganda, or something to worry about?
The drama itself was rather well made and disturbing, I thought. Don't know how well they've researched the issue but there were some very worrying suggestions. The final moments of the film, when you see the whole of the City fenced off and the woman on the radio is saying much of Central London will have to be sealed off for up to 30 years, and how many thousands of people can be expected to die of cancer in the following 2 years, were particularly disturbing.
As for the motives of making such film (not to mention the stupid phone-in debate afterwards), I'm not so sure. Things are bad enough as they stand for such thing to be broadcast... I don't think the Muslim community will be very pleased with it.
Thoughts?

Why? Because it portays Muslims as terroists? They are, not all but a lot.
Knowing that there are Muslim counter-terrorists and that the emergency services are drilled isn't going to help the terrified person on the street with a burnt face and covered in fallout.
They copped out on this one, "Threads" puts it to shame.
Do you also believe that "a lot" of the Irish are terrorists and "a lot" of black people are muggers?
Anyways, I don't think it's going to be repeated on BBC1 soon. Perhaps on BBC3 or other digital channel. They might say more on their website.
