I know there is a separate topic already on this, but has anyone seen any of the clips from this, or read through any of the stories??

Would it affect your life, and your attititudes towards people in the UK?? Or would you think it's all too far away to really concern you? (this seems to be the attitude of a number of people on twitter). Some people I have spoken to this morning actually share the views of many of the anti-gay people in Uganda. It's only an 8 hour flight away from the UK, yet it's just shocking.

The absolute ignorance in this country is ASTOUNDING, including "cleansing" someone of being gay with chickens and water..... if it wasn't so bloody ridiculous, it would be laughable.

And this story - THIS: Stosh: When she was a teenager she was raped by a man to try and "cure" her of her lesbianism and as a result was infected with HIV. THIS story is the one that infuriates me the most.

If you haven't had the chance, please view the clips now by clicking on the link below. Scott presents well, although I still don't feel he was confrontational enough.

The actual doc will be, as previously mentioned, Monday at 9:30 pm, BBC 3

A bit about it on the homepage here - http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/communities/content.php?205-Scott-Mills-feared-imprisonment-in-Uganda

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yrt1c - Btw, you get to see Scott almost naked... How cool is that. ;) Rock on - great weekend viewing, peeps!!

9/10.

You're rating something that hasn't aired yet, you're a funny one!

Well.... er... quite frankly... the clips already are quite an insight, as are the online stories.... I imagine when I do watch the full version it will get 10/10.

That 'chicken and water' curing someone treatment tells me just about everything I need to know about outdated attitudes, prejudices, stupidity, ignorance and downright flakiness by the looks of it.

O, and there's just as much prejudice in the UK, proved to me by quite a nasty little 'exchange' on twitter yesterday. You know who you are, out there!!!!!!! HA!! And changing your Username won't cut it!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps: Loving your Avatar, Ryan!! :hahaha:

10 / 10 I think…

This topic is really close to my heart. I found out about it quite a few months ago, and the Ugandan people disgust me. Diversity is what this world thrives on, so why are we so set against it!

A mon avis, it is a fucking disgrace to the human race (I'm a poet and I know it).

I will so be watching this, and might force some of my friends to too. They probably won't though, because they tend to hate whatever I like, just to piss me off. It's quite funny because I started a story the other day, and they knew it was about Scott before I'd even said two words, and then they started 'la la la'-ing. :( But yay, I got a picture of his face in my birthday card. :)

Anyway, meh at Ugandan homophobes.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

I'm sure that with it being about gay men, Annalie will have got a sneak preview screening DVD from the BBC for 'review purposes'... :P

*cough*

Gay men AND Scott Mills. My favourite two things in the world. :)

I can't believe what some people believe.

I know, it's ridiculous. They have such old-fashioned views and stereotypes which are completely untrue. It's incredibly saddening.

On the page about the programme, when it talks about Scott Mills near the bottom of the page, it says "He also confronts and challenges an assortment of bigots on their homophonic attitudes" - the typo made me laugh, at a very serious subject.

Anyway, I look forward to this. Yesterday's Observer Review had this featured in the TV guide with a photo, plus on the opposite page it featured Scott's radio show.

exactly, straight people can be into that kinda thing as well, altho going as far as the poop thing is without doubt a very minority activity.

am i actually watching this, scott is being rubbed with a wet chicken?!?

Not impressed with censorship

I was incredibly impressed and moved by this documentary. It was excruciating watching Scott's pure frustration whilst speaking to some of those bigots. It was also very sad to share in his disappointment when he realised that change is virtually impossible.

PS. Also enjoyed the wet chicken bit though.

    • 20th July Alyx Holcombe in for Jack Saunders 21st July No presenters listed for the New Music Show or Future Artists and both shows list separate programmes for each hour, I wonder if there is a link between that and the event on Tuesday?
    • I haven’t seen that much regarding Vick Hopes complaints and I genuinely think most of the time she has been being a mum and flexible working makes sense.   She sort of explained it fairly well and knew where we were at. Jamie imo doesn’t get the same leeway, wouldn’t have begrudged a bit of paternity leave and holiday but extensive time off for other business interests is taking the p 
    • Yep and close to what i've commented a few times when people suggest getting rid of Vick due to her part-time schedule!
    • Fair enough to Vick Hope for her dig on Instagram  
    • Jamie does a full week 
    • Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary  Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime.   Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)
    • I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably). 
    • Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?
    • Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?
    • Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast. 
    • That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.
    • Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies? 
    • I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.
    • Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆
    • I would imagine they would be covering Going Home whilst Katie is on holiday
