I've just had a reply from BBC's complaints:
Dear Mr ******
Thanks for your e-mail regarding 'Spooks' broadcast on the 27 October.
I understand you feel the programme amounted to propaganda and I note your concerns that some viewers may believe in the action presented.
Drama productions like 'Spooks' aren't always best served by attention to detail and a certain amount of dramatic licence can be involved in trying to capture the essence of an issue and then conveying this to an audience. We appreciate that any deviation from accuracy can be irritating to some viewers but there are constraints which mean that we can't or don't always want to keep as closely to the level of detail that some viewers would like us to.
Over the course of the series, 'Spooks' has used a huge range of groups to create the threat that has been posed over the course of the episodes. We're able to do this because we are confident that our viewers are capable of distinguishing between fact and fiction.
Nevertheless, I appreciate you may continue to hold concerns and I'd like to assure you that we've registered your comments on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for the programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and also their senior management. It ensures that your points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered across the BBC.
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us with your concerns.
Regards
Gemma McAleer

I think you have to read this more subtlely. It is not all bad.
4 bits caught my eye.
1) when they questioned how it would look if an MI5 agent (in the drama an undercover agent) were to be found to have been one of the bombers
2) that the bombers were protrayed as patsies who thought they were going on a dummy run and acting on the orders of one baddy and when they were actually being played by a pakistani intelligence agent.
3) that it was conceiveable (but with 100% deniability) for HMG to negotiate with alQ and that militarily the war is unwinnable by either 'side'
4) When the more 'dove like' AQ leader is blown up in a plane crash over Kazakstan, the spooks' automatic intuitive response is to dismiss the media line of AQ suicide bomber and assume American false flag terror.
Whatever it is, it is a damned more subtle than Soviet/Nazi propaganda |

Blimey,I'll have to actually watch this now before reacting to the odd bits
seen in isolation

I sent this diluted complaint lol
Quote: | OK so this maybe a toned down complaint compared to other responses you may have received. Oh and of course the fact I don't have a TV or seen the said programme
I do however think it more than fair to pass on my reasons for not owning a TV as to better prepare the BBC for a turbulent time ahead. Please take a look at this thread http://www.911forum.org.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=127191#127191 which details a comment I posted else where on MSN, then my sudden realisation as to what is likely going on as you scroll down the page which if anything is very defensive.
What better way to undermine the BBC than spread mistrust.
What better outcome for the Corporate Giants to squish the biggest Media outlet that isn't yet directly under their control?
Please take it upon yourselves to give the public what they expect Truth the Whole Truth and nothing but. It maybe the only surefire chance of survival.
"If the Spooks (http://www.911forum.org.uk/board/viewtopic.php?t=16015) thread is indeed true there just maybe more to this sustained corporate attack on the worlds most revered documentary channel!!
If only they'd speak truth to the people rather than allow the slow demise of a once great institution!" |
