TV Request for Stories

Fly-tipping, noisy dogs, loud music, bullying and harassment, groups of teenagers, parking wars....

I am currently at the research stage of a new documentary series looking at anti-social and criminal behaviour that is caught on film by the general public.

I would love to hear from you if you have used a mobile phone or home CCTV in order to catalogue your experience in an attempt to deal with the problems that you've faced.
All stories would be treated in the strictest of confidence and responding does not in any way commit you to participating in the programme.

Yet another negative programming idea - boring!

Yet another negative programming idea - boring!

yeah, why don't they ever make a documentary showing positive things - why don't they show the other side of things such as parks, green spaces, waterfront, canals, events, festivals, people enjoying themselves, beautiful gardens, etc, etc. Why don't they ever show smart areas and lovely districts. There are plenty of good things around. :rolleyes:

[Marty1]

Because they like to dwell on peoples misery, parasites !

Why don`t they try London it`s nearer to them

Here's a video I took. There's no fly tipping, noisy dogs, loud music, bullying, harassment or groups of teenagers.

Maybe I should do my own TV channel, Liverpool's Grand Churches.

Very good, I enjoyed that !

I agree with the above posts, but the thing I hate I know it does happens, that THEY like the people who started this post always classify ALL teenagers in the same pot as the 5% that do cause trouble so as you all say not all people are bad

I am currently at the research stage of a new documentary series looking at anti-social and criminal behaviour that is caught on film by the general public.Serious question....
What is the sole purpose of this documentry? basically I find this type of program a complete waste of funds in terms of TV entertainment and serves no purpose whatsoever in terms of stamping out what you have headlined in your post.

And more to the point its making a complete mockery of Joe Bloggs payment of a high priced TV Licence

The programme showing someone taking their own life was a complete waste of money!

On a positive note, the actor Mark Williams narrates a number of programmes including industrial revelations to name a few. He is so good and makes it interesting to watch!

What about the latest spate of 'embarrassing bodies !!' OMG ! they show everything ! I'm sure there is no need to show every little detail that they do ! Also, horrible seeing people having horrendous chunks of flesh hat chopped away or surplus skin :PDT_Xtremez_42:

I hasten to add, I don't watch these programmes and avert my eyes! I've see them when other people have them on telly. I can't stand to watch these types of programmes showing operations and blood :$ik:
Even with a fictional programme like Casualty I look away when the surgery scenes come up.
But there is a craze lately on the embarrassing bodies theme ! :PDT_Xtremez_42:

I don't think they should show so much detail ! surely people could have their problems dealt with without showing so much ! :neutral:

ps, the edit button isn't working so I can't delete my typo - - 3rd line of post - 'flesh hat' should just read 'flesh'.

[Lizzie1]

'embarrassing bodies'!!!!!!! I've unfortunately caught a glimpse of the ad for this programme!!!!!! As I understand it they are ailments which people are embarrassed to see their GP about? Yet as Lindy said they 'flash the flesh' for all to see! There are truly some disturbed people about!

[Marty1]

Is it any wonder I watch very little TV ?

Fly-tipping, noisy dogs, loud music, bullying and harassment, groups of teenagers, parking wars....

Once upon a time a FLY came to Liverpool and said he was good at TIPPING. He told me to back a Greyhound called NOISY DOG, so I did. I tried to watch the race in the pub but was put off by the LOUD MUSIC. Anyway the greyound won despite BULLYING the others dogs in the race. I got my money and went back the pub, only to find HARASSMENT from people wanting me to buy drinks. It got pretty rough but I was saved by a GROUP OF TEENAGERS who were passing by. In fact they had just had to break up a fight outside, summit to do with PARKING WARS? Then I came on here and read about some Southern TV compamy wanting to give my city down the banks.

Same user has posted in a Sheffied forum and the national neighbours from hell forum, so not deliberately targeting here. I sort of agree its another negative general stereotype programme about the sad state of UK today, but on the other hand there's positive aspects of it if it shows people standing up to these yobs and gathering evidence against them to be used in court, should the police be bothered to make use of it.
