IMPORTANT TV PROGRAMME
Moderator: johankreig
After watching the program this morning and reading the posts on here. I though I'd have a look on the web TV forums for comments on what people though of the program. What I saw was interesting.
Alot of posts from non re-enactor commenting on how it appeared bias, yet WW2 re-enactors are a bit eccentric! Theres a few criticisms about SS re-enactment, yet alot more about Sweeney poor journalism.
So in a strange way this program may have harmed Sweeney (already damaged career after his Scientology report) more than WW2 re-enactment.

That fellow at the start was a handsome devil enough to make anyone join up if a uniform makes you look that good.
As for the rest of it Mr. Sweeney did what his sort always do, go for the easy option. If he had the guts he would go looking for nazis in extreme right wing organisations not at a re-enactment show. Those two blokes on a motorbike chasing down hooky plumbers etc. do better investigative journalism that this non starter.

SS Reenactor but in this case clothes don't maketh the man.

The Teutonic reputation for brutality is well founded. There operas last for three or four days and they have no word for fluffy.

Mind, those folks on that tv forum worry me a little "Latent homosexuality"?
Sod you mate. I don't hide what I do in the bedroom if somebody asks.
Still, this same fellow rumbles on about the SS must have right wing views... because they wear the uniformz! Not that the whole documentary was biased in any way, oh no.
I also find it annoying that they keep going on about an "SS themed wedding" when it wasn't. I do not recall hearing the Nuremberg laws being quoted but the good old fashioned marriage vows. That and the groom wasn't wearing a sodding SS uniform!
Thank god we didn't get the guy who wrote that instead of Sweeney! He REALLY doesn't get reenacters.Alex wrote:seen this yet?

A trawl of TV review pages in the dailys on Tuesday showed two things:
1 - This programme was ignored
2 - If someone did notice it, the attention was negative (looking for an enemy that wasn't there in the first place).
A lot ask if this is the depths that Sweeney's career has sunk to after the Scientology fiasco.
This documentary hasn't damaged us in any significant way. I don't think the same can be said for John Sweeney.

and as regards racist remarks made in the beer tent area , mr sweeney obviously does not go to many pubs the length and breath of the uk , as if he did he would here a hell of a lot more conversations worse than that .
