I'm glad we haven't had any knee-jerk reactions to this
Both the boy and bear play fair: sure, the boy is bigger but there are points where he could really have hurt the bear cruelly, and didn't. Personally, I see this sort of thing as something the animal enjoys because wrestling with its siblings is a natural part of its development. Case and point: it could have bitten the boy, but didn't.
Add to that the cuteness, and I don't feel bad at all about clicking "I like this"

Animation and lighting look amazing.
weapon recoil and handling, enemy engagements (they're hardly 12 feet away) look suspiciously call of duty-esque.

Well it's down to interpretation of Section 5 Public Order Act
Use of threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.
So swearing is a public order offence for which you can be arrested. Though more often than not can be dealt with using a fixed penalty.
However, they should be arrested and escorted off the premises to prevent further breach of the peace.

This is similar to section 4a
4a is where you intend to cause alarm or distress through use of threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.
5 is where you cause it without intention (I think).

Using words than can be harassing and/or threatening is one of the key reasons why ASBOs were introduced. It's not just about how you perceive it, it's about how others do.
It's been illegal since before 1984, when the revised Public Order Act was introduced.
There's always your MP to talk to about it, if you aren't happy with it.

It's not about freedom of speech though.
She spoke entirely in onomatopoeia, and didn't really say anything.
Offence and harassment are different things (admittedly with a blurry boundary)
If she politely explained to him why she believed he deserved to be shot in the face, then fair enough. As it was, she obviously just wanted to harass a policeman and believed (incorrectly) that she was above the law in doing so.
Do you think people should have the right to shout abuse at you when you are walking down the street in the name of "freedom of speech"?
Do you think verbal bulling in the workplace is acceptable?

I suppose it comes down to semantics
Harrassment or bullying - to me at least - implies a sustained campaign of abuse which was clearly not the case here.
I'd also say that people dont generally shout abuse at me in the street. Not because it's illegal, I suspect, but because they share a common humanity which this woman obviously does not.

I'm wondering if the footage
is from Out of Town. The guy looks a bit like Jack Hargreaves.
I think it used to be on Sunday mornings in the late 70's / early 80's. I was ridiculously young, but got hooked on the theme music and the peacefulness of it.
Thought I'd imagined it, until the Fast Show based Bob Fleming on it.

I really enjoyed that
and that definately has to be where the footage came from.
Unfortunately, being a mid-eightees child means that I was way to young to have enjoyed that at the time but I shall spend some time watching through these.

I never saw that before
But that's ace.
Can someone please explain why we've gone from his style of presenting (quiet, informed and unhurried) to the current type of presenters (straight out of drama school and shit)?

it's a shame
the emphasis has shifted from being an expert at the subject, or at least an expert at journaling the subject (with all of the critical awareness that such a task requires), to being an expert at broadcasting and being comfortable in front of a camera.
Jack Hargreaves also created How!, and was one of the founders of ITV.

It has such a charming warmth, it's something I rather like about Brian Cox's approach to presenting, it's not much more than banter.

It's a brilliant recreation
But once you've seen "Telly Savals Looks At Birmingham", you realise this kind of thing is near impossible to parody

Nice
The narration reminds me of Johnny Depp's naration throughout Fear & Loathing.
If only the guy knew that Birmingham would end up as a slum.

Not really
The first two and a half minutes sounds like he was just sitting at the keyboard figuring out what all the keys do. It gets going a bit after that, but its really hard work to get there.

Fair enough.
I just find it disconcerting when people can't listen to Bach, seeing as he basically laid the foundations for modern western tonality as we know it. But then I'm not the biggest fan of Mozart, so it's all just a question of taste in the end.

Lovely! (though not my favourite Bach by a long shot)
Could only be improved if (rather than midi) it were played on large wheezy organ.

Though tbh, there's not much I think wouldn't be improved by the addition of a large, wheezy organ.

Wurlitzer, perhaps?
I have a dream/idea of seeing this played in the RFH, or perhaps Liverpool Cathedral, with the bar-graph score projected on to the casing and walls.

Time capsule found in NZ
Apparently they're planning on using the capsule to go back in time and evacuating the city.

They capsules are very small.
Perhaps they can train a mouse or a small kitten to go back in time with a message?

but when it travelled back in time would it not be stuck underground where they found the capsule
Then next time they would just find a small capsule with a dead cat/mouse in it with a note saying "evacuate the city". That would basically blow their minds and everyone would freak out.

:-(I'm not trained in time science.
Obviously someone with knowledge of such things would handle the project and I'm sure could overcome such trivial problems as sending a kitten back in time AND space.
