Didn't know about this programme until my friend phoned 15-20 mins ago, and said as an aside, you should watch the programme on BBC1. You keep forgetting things. Cheeky monkey.
Splendid TV |

Must be difficult to sit there not talking.....Sir T.P. ...I mean...

He seems fairly relaxed about it Leopard, but You're right of course.

Is TP really finding it tough to speak now? he seemed ok at the intro though undertanable he wont have the confidence now to lecture at length
|
|
By:
Such a tough subject so eloquently put by Pratchett, and delivered equally consummately by Robinson. Thank you for some great reads TP :)
|

By:
Horsman, difficult to read, not to speak.

Any particular recommendations Wedged? I haven't read any of his work.
|
|
By:
none fantasy preferably.
|
|
By:
Balders orated very well indeed a job done well.
Ah i see how you mean about the reading.I see to remember TP in a documentary and he struggled a bit reading a passage of his new book i think. |
|
By:
Balders was very good. Not 10-10 but very competently handled.
|
|
By:
I do try and avoid reccommending books to people, we all see things so differently. And i'm not surprised you ask for non-fantasy as granted it can be a niche genre.
Unfortunately, TP is mainly fantasy. I'd say Small Gods, Night Watch, Interesting Times, Guards! Guards! and Men At Arms. The Hogfather was also good, away from the Discworld - but you could watch the film of the same name. For younger readers, I remember enjoying Johnny and the Bomb. |

By:
ok thanks very much Wedged. I'll take a look. Not read a book for ages, since I went through the John Grisham series.

Speaking of top authors, i'm about to pick up 'Prey' from Crichton. Anyone feel I should save my time or otherwise?

By:
I have read Mort which is very funny. I watched the programme too. I am in favour of "assisted death". Obviously there has to be some rules and legal stuff in place but surely it is a basic right to decide how you depart
|
|
By:
brilliant !
superbly written by TP and expertly delivered by TR.Everyone's absolute right to decide one's own death - with DIGNITY |
|
By:
I think things are best left as they are. Once the genie is out of the bottle...Are we not giving the likes of Josef Mengele a defence, by the state agreeing some peoples lives are not worth living? First Dementia sufferers and Paraplegics, who next? People with Downs Syndrome, or cleft palates, already victims of late term abortions?
|
|
By:
own choice - not others
|
|
By:
Yes, but the law makers have to say, yes you (Doctors) are permitted to administer death inducing drugs under the follwing circumstances.

I thought when listening to it that the government had no answers to this debate.It was an Educated sensible Lecture than no humanist couldnt agree with.
|
|
By:
Obviously a thought provoking debate. Without expressing an opinion on the subject matter, I'd echo those commenting on Tony Robinson's excellent delivery.
