I can’t quite see the point of showing it anyway - Craig Ewart clearly has suffered in his life, I’m not disputing or even trying to diminish that, but a healthy body and healthy mind isn’t going to watch it, one can imagine his distress but wouldn’t want to wallow (his widow is different, its a part of her life)
But as you say all impressionable and easily distressed and depressed people will watch.
But death and new life are private affairs and not entertainment

The BBC showed Survivors last night. I nearly lost the will to live a few times during that. I almost wished I was a Liverpool or Chelse supporter.

But not quite

Gordon Brown does not have the power to stop it? What are they ever thinking broadcasting an actual suicide on TV!! Impressionable young youths could watch that; teenagers and adults with possible emotional problems will be watching that …

I was reading an article one time that the Christmas holiday season is the one where many people suffer depression the most …

Have the producers have no conscience!

Downing St are a bit dubious about the legality of this being shown
