Kenyon Confronts

Lastnight's episode of Kenyon Confronts (Thurs, BBC1, 8pm) was not only grippingly interesting, but also rather destressing. After having not watched it since the last series, the episode, which was called 'Gone to the Dogs', was indeed moving.

Q: Ever seen a Greyhound dog drugged before racing, so that it slows down or speeds up during the race? A: No.

Q: Ever seen a Greyhound dog shot dead for no reason and buried illegally in the ground? A: No.

Q: Ever seen a Greyhound dog stuffed with as much food as it can eat before racing? A: No.

Never have I seen such sad scenes and also shocking ones. For those who don't watch the programme Paul Kenyon confronts the victim after going round with them for a few days/weeks.

I congratulate the BBC on this new series. Anyone like Kenyon Confronts?

Kenyon Confonts is a very good show, i've watched it from day one and am only frustrated by the fact they don't call the police! Its a very good show and is totally worth watching.

Yeah, why don't they pass on the information/evidence they have to the relevant authorities? Isn't this perverting the course of justice?

These are criminals who should be locked up. Especially for causing such un-necessary suffering to animals like greyhounds.

It's not perverting the course of justice. That's when the law is already involved & you hamper it's conclusion.

I doubt the intention of the crew was to inform the authorities, but to bring awareness that it actually happens & let other people make their minds up.

It's a bit like Bull Fighting in Spain. Most peole disagree with it, but media still shows the pictures & tells the stories to bring awareness to the public. Media companys are not in the business of Law Enforcement

Katherine, I think you'll find it's perversing the court of justice. Look at this which I copied from Dictionary.com...

You missed one Ryan!!


I thought the programme was brilliant - but I don't think he should reveal his own identity cos otherwise future series may be hampered.

I pretty sure they do give the evidence to the police. For starters, the football holigans in the first series were sent down thanks to the filmed evidence. Secondly, they couldn't film all that and not give it to the police. We just don't get to see the arrests.

I wouldn't think that the police would let that go out to 4 million people and not do anything at all about it. I imagine the police would ask for the evidence with such a strong case.

I am no expert though.....just common sence maybe?

LOST DEFINITION:

Pervert - Jonathan King, allegedly.
