I don't know the exact convolutions. This is a dramatization of the original investigation that lead to the airing of coverage way back when. Entirely possible it is a BBC original drama.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

HA. This film cannot be video streamed because someone wouldn't PAY for the internet rights, they mean.
(And I should really stop talking about my job, because I like using my real name.)
[eta: The BBC made a TV-movie about the actual events, for which they got in HUGE trouble with the Saudi government, at which point everyone and their mother and their mother's news network got in on the action covering the controversy. But the BBC started it. Those controversial rascals.]

Hi Jessica! We're in the same city.
Yay us!

Yeah, I have no idea if this is the original from that period or what. Probably considering the fashions are horribly accurate. Which is an appalling observation to make given the topic, but...
There was an intro over the whole huge fuss when the predecessor to Frontline (WORLD) aired something but I wasn't paying close attention.

It is. I didn't know they were airing the whole thing, though. (My department only handles clips.)]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Julia thinks you speak actual French, just by putting on the sort of chi chi accent with which you might hear a French cartoon character speak.
You know, I know someone else who thinks this, and her name is msbelle.
Jessica, I'd call 311 to double-check on the jury duty thing.
I am all jacked up on Diet Coke, which a friend brought me in class because another friend told her to as a joke. God forbid I could have just not drank it.

Perkins, the conversation went something like this:
Kelly: I knew you couldn't make a commitment.
Ron: I'm afraid of commitment?? I've committed to [thinks] the military, and... [thinks some more, no luck, trails off.]
Kelly: [bitchily] Yeah, the military. And you got out of that.
Ron: What? How'd I get out of that?
Kelly: By being a POW.
Ron: [dumbfounded look]
Me: HAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, good idea. I have the direct line for the courthouse too, though, so I may just wait until tomorrow.
