Ah, was ok...bit too stagey, but ok nonetheless...

It was meant to portray both sides of the death penalty debate but all i saw were do gooder hippy's saying it was murder and level headed folk saying hanging was too fuckin good for the freak...

Strange old program.

Sort of ended up feeling sorry for the sad old sick bastard ... and i kind of resent the program for making me feel like that.

Think it would have been better as straight up fiction, a drama debating the rights and wrongs of bringing back the death penatly, leaving Glitter out of it all together.

The less publicity that shit gets (good or bad) the better ...
