THE BBC'S ONE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS MALE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE

The BBC yesterday (5th March 2009) produced another superb documentary on male victims of domestic violence and domestic abuse.

The BBC handled the subject sensitively and also importantly interviewed both Dr Malcolm George and Erin Pizzey who were able to talk about some of the 'political' and 'social' barriers that male victims face.

Particularly wonderful was the comment from the actor Julian Fellowes about "The strong feminist agenda of the last ten years which has insisted that violence is essentially from men to women."Worth the licence fee alone and you can bet that some people watching that who would have choked on their linguine!

The programme is available at:- Realplayer.

If other readers know a better way of playing it please help (John Kimble perhaps)

To find a decent version of the program you just go to the bbc iplayer site and search for what you want.

programmes are only there for one week, so it is a superior method in all respects.

Anyway, this link will be good for the next week:

Well I just watched it - noticed that later in the programme in a separate feature they have Germaine Greer on there.

Certainly a rather an eccletic mix isnt it?
