For the most part, Jack Thompson was cast as a religious nutcase on a personal crusade against something he doesn't understand in my opinion. The only time he was allowed to look human was when taking to his son.
Houser was definitely the 'hero' he was just portrayed as a flawed genius.
It wasn't the best show in the world but is was pretty entertaining. Not sure really what all the fuss is about.
The beeb has been going down the crapper for a while now mate. The only time I ever watch it is for the Rugby League highlights and the challenge cup. The rest of it is pretty much garbage.
When it comes to British gaming TV content forget the BBC, Channel 4 did an excellent docu called "How Videogames Changed the World" with Charlie Brooker, I highly recommend it to anyone who likes gaming.

I totally agree. It was bloody awful. The fact that it basically cast Jack Thompson as the hero of the piece just made it all the more annoying.
Didn't expect it to be good to be honest.
BBC are going downhill.
