- Children's Fight ClubE30
Children's Fight ClubThe internet is without question one of the greatest inventions of our time. For the majority of users it's a great source of information - the good by far out-weighing the bad. But the bad is becoming more and more of a concern. When we first came across the hundreds of violent videos that had been uploaded to various websites, we were shocked by the senseless and excessive violence, the age of those involved and the lack of sympathy from those watching and those who used their mobile phones to film the incident and egg-on the attacker/s. No matter how many videos I witnessed during our research I was shocked and flinched, and still do, at the impact of the blows that rained down on the victims. Be it by foot or fist or weapon. Meeting and speaking to victims and their parents, like "Joe", from Glasgow in Scotland, who had no idea the assault on their son was on the internet for others' entertainment made our investigation all the more important. - On a Knife EdgeE32
On a Knife EdgeAs the number of youths killed on the streets of London this year rises to 17, with more young victims across the country, Panorama profiles two 15-year-old boys on the fringe of gang culture. The programme offers a rare insight into the confusing and dangerous world of the inner city teenager. - Weekend 'Nazis'E34
Weekend 'Nazis'Re-enacting battles from World War Two is a popular summer pastime in the UK, but although we won the war it's the Germans that most people want to portray and the 'SS' who are the most popular of all.
