Politically Controversial TV Progammes

Saw this in the Guardian and thought I'd share

The top ten most politically controversial tv programmes:

There are some humdingers in there. But maybe they missed a few?

Some of them I've seen, some I haven't. My personal favourite from that list is Brass Eye. Awesome television and some of the best satire of modern news I've ever seen. The War Game and The Day After both scared the ever loving shit out of me. But I think Threads should be on that list too(as someone commented btl). And Kathy Come Home was truly groundbreaking stuff - changed the face of British drama and brought the realities of homelessness to the national consciousness.


They're right I think in their assessment of Death of a President - it was really, really bad. I didn't see the one they did about Harry, but I did see The Execution of Gary Glitter - it was pretty ,isjudged in many ways but there were a few scenes that were very well done and really stuck with me.

So what do you think of the list? And what would you add?
