Chemotherapy and marijuana go together like apple pie and Chevrolet.
BBC Scotland have made a programme called called The Scheme which is basically a fly on the wall documentary about people on a housing estate in Kilmarnock. It is a real life shameless and is very hosed up indeed. My favourite part is the mother lying in bed smoking a fag using language like oval office whilst her 5 year old daughter is totally running late for school. Classy.

Love this kinda stuff, thanks for sharing.
The second episode was shown last night and it was just as juicy. Alas due to legal reasons they can't broadcast any more episodes for the near future - someone featured in the 3rd and 4th episodes is up in court on a serious charge!

I know, I found out I could get BBC Scotland and watched it.

What a clusterfuck!

Poor Bullet the dog :(
The sad thing about Bullet is that the vet did say he was very well looked after and had a lovely personality. I felt sorry for his owner even if he was a drugged up mess, he did really seem to care about the dog. I think he is the most popular dog in scottish history.

It was even on the newspaper boards outside newsagents this morning about the Scheme being cancelled. Highly unusual for a documentary to make morning headlines.

This entire series is totally awesome. Even if I didn't find the science interesting I'd still watch it. Brian Cox makes me wet.

Last nights Storyville on BBC Four was great, it was about some teenagers who fled a very creepy cult in Utah. They were nice kids I'm glad they got away :unsmith:

Madness in the Fast Lane
This is unmissable. The story just got more and more bizarre throughout. Crazy swedish twins make for very interesting documentaries.
