[La...] Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hey, this is great news! Is this our man Stephen Nolan, Fiona? Maybe we can listen live here on the other side of the pond, like last time. If you get the broadcast details, please share them. Thank you!

[lo...] Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 BBC TV Scotland now looking to do something on the subject of A/Ds. And tonight a hospital fiction drama, again BBC, featured problems with A/Ds - did not see it myself. Something is going on ... this is no coincidence.

[lo...] Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Have heard on the grapevine that BBC Radio 5 Live programme might prove to be rather disappointing. May not be about dependency, withdrawal etc but a promotion of talking therapies instead of pills. Wil post details of prog when I know them. BBC TV and the Daily Mail newspaper are apparently co-orindating their activities. I thought that must be the case. I have no idea if that is unusual or common practice.

[lo...] Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates - Adrian Goldberg 11.00 am. UK GMT. Sunday 12th February Don't have any blurb about the programme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tl99q I think it might be disappointing though. > Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yikes, that's pretty early here! If it's available after-the-fact, then I'll check it out. The topic still sounds interesting to me, since I think it is essential that they focus on non-drug options for depression and anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[La...] Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's radio, benzogirl. I believe we were able to listen to the program (archived) online here in Canada the last time so hopefully we can again this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we were able to listen to the program (archived) online here in Canada the last time so hopefully we can again this time OK, but I don't have a radio, except in my car. So I'll sit in my car with it turned on and the garage door closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[lo...] Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have communicated with the programme makes again as there were concerns that the whole thing was going to be a big disappointment. I am assured that someone will be speaking whose life has been destroyed by antidepressants and that BBC Radio is looking to do more on the harms of A/Ds. BBC TV Scotland seems to be looking to do similar. Fingers crossed. Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[La...] Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If there's a phone-in portion, then people can make their voices heard on this topic. I hope there's enough publicity to get a good audience for this programme. Fingers crossed on that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[lo...] Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yes, one of our Buddies here will be speaking .. not sure if she wants to publicise that fact or not. And also others from Facebook Campaign Group. Fiona :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Sounds good! Do you have any sense of the popularity of this programme, Fiona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[lo...] Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have no idea, Lapis. But I would imagine if the programme attracted an unprecedented response then a programme about antidepressants should attract even more. There are far more people taking A/Ds in the UK. I do hope it will be a success anyway. I have shared the link via FB so hopefully others will do the same. Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm just listening to this BBC 5 Live Investigates programme in the archived version online from here in Canada. I'm about halfway through it, and so far, it's quite interesting. I'll weigh in later once I finish listening to the rest. I hope others will check it out too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08dnpkn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
