This is showing in Sky 1 at the mo. last episode next week. anyone else watching it?? its been great so far. the first 3 episodes were filmed in LA, Sofia (bulgaria) and tonights 1 was in Belize city in central america. Last episode next week is in kenya, looks crazy over there. the LA episode was in compton, unbelievable how manys gangs are in that area. The Bulgaria episode about the gypise's, wasn't that great imo. tonights 1 in belize city was a decent 1. the city is a stop off for columbian drug cartels. glad i dont live in any of these countries tbh and limerick.... joking.....
Hi Mate Yea, I've been watching it on & off, not bad though I do find myself wondering if he's really meeting the headers, or just actors pretending half the time - I know the show's won an award, but come on, most of the stuff Sky produces win's an award from someone or other. I had actually heard somewhere (seriously) that he was looking to do an episode in Dublin, lets hope this never happens .. last thing we want is that kind of bad press, if you ask me.
I know what you mean, its a decent show, but the fact its on sky it doesnt focus too much on facts at times and kind of glosses over some issues/doesnt have alot of depth. Having said that, if you had an interest in any of the subjects you could do your own research. Though saying that, its a good show, and entertaining. The roma gypsies one was very good. He wouldnt have the balls to do it in Limerick.
The Brother has been following this series and has been telling me about it. Ive never actually watched it, Ive seen the adds for it though.. It looks ok. Just my luck last episode next week. lol
just looking at wikipedia about this show and episode 4 of this series was originally sceduled to be about liverpool. its about the street gangs of Norris Green. this was the reason given for not showing it "For legal reasons, broadcast of this programme has been delayed until the outcome of the Rhys Jones murder trial". the kenya episode was put in instead. this was originally meant to be a 90-minute special.
Its a great program. Read the book too. Hes either brave, stupid or pays the people he talks to for their interview cos hes dealing with seriously fcuked up people who could easily just kil him, his camera men and whoever else just for asking the wrong question....crazy *******!
I seen previous ones and one stuck in my mind . i think it was south africa (not sure) but it was a prision where the gang leader was allowed take an imate to be his "bitch" untill he got sick of him, and wanted someone else . The prision gaurd basically said on camera this was to keep the peace within the prision!!! What about the guys he was picking ???????? Could not believe it . You'd have to end it to get out of that .
heard he was to do one on dublin but was advised against it. it was too dangerous dont know how true it is
saw that. he was insane. i think his name was mongrel. he kills them if they say no and looks them straight in the eyes when he rapes them. kemp asked him was he gay... dangerous thing to ask a pyscho! dont believe that at all. i think south africa and brazil are a lot more dangerous than dublin.
anyone see the kenya special? disgrace of a country!! children hooked on glue, people working in the landfill for 50 pence a day and 20 million people living on a 1 dollar a day!! and thats before they start with the volence from the gangs!
Yeah that Glue thing was one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen on TV. Really shocking. I think he is doing another special on them next week, which to be quite honest I dont know if I could watch. In fairness to Kemp, when I heard he was going to do these shows I thought it would be muck, especially with it being on Sky, but its not bad. Its well produced and does explain alot of stuff in very general terms without going into too much depth which I guess is the protocol for Sky TV. Its a good show.
the liverpool episode that was delayed due to "legal reasons, broadcast of this programme has been delayed until the outcome of the Rhys Jones murder trial" is on tomorrow night at 10pm. well worth the watch imo.
Load of crap, could have done one in Leitrim or somewhere like that and it would have been rougher. Little dopey kids thats all.
