Did anyone notice before the program started, an announcer's warning that the program contained a scene showing animal cruelty. But I don't recall anything being said about the program containing a graphic account of a woman being beheaded and of human torture.

Considering that they are preparing us for bombing Iraq, unless they have pictures I don't believe anything.

Although I didn't watch the program. Too predictable.

It's in order to avoid upsetting people like Mrs Imelda.

When watching a film, she'll quite happily watch a person being beaten to a bloody pulp, before having their plums nailed to the floorboards and soaked in hydrochloric acid. This scene would not precipitate even a brief pause in the systematic demolition of a bucket of Maltesers.

But show a scene where someone aims a half-hearted kick in the general direction of a dog and she starts shouting at the telly and covering her face in anguish.

I don't understand women.
