HO Drugs
Was anyone else surprised that they showed the drugs when Tony was doing the drug deal?
I was fine with it but I thought considering this is a 6:30 show and aimed at teenagers, I was just a bit surprised that you saw them cut it open and reveal the powder. I feel really old now mentioning this aha

It was not like they were shooting up or anything, they opened some bags of powder, you must live a sheltered life if you found that in the slightest bit shocking.

They've shown guns and much worse before and it doesn't seem to be a problem. But when Warren and Calvin had that bad ass fight years ago everyone complained about it

They showed Clare snorting cocaine back in 2006, there's a clip somewhere on YouTube. What's wrong with them showing drugs? That's just like saying they shouldn't have shown the painkillers Nancy was taking. What's really bad is that they showed Nancy taking the actual pill that can be got from a pharmacy!
That's so bad and it's on at 6:30, children might copy!

I usually don't give a damn. Its kind of funny because everything else they show, I don't care about, sometimes I feel like they could have done more! So I don't know why I feel like this ![]() I think (for me) the difference between Nancy and this, is that you saw Nancy's struggle and that she was in a bad place and you saw how she ended up there, and then how she fought her addiction and got better. Whereas this, I don't know, I wouldn't go so far as to say its glorifying drugs, no way, just, its showing them the whole drug deal and everything. It would be interesting to do a hardcore drug addiction (more so than Nancy, i'm talking a lot heavier stuff than pain killers), but that's if the show would allow it. I felt like that Fletch SL was lame, they didn't handle it well, his exit was terrible and you never saw the aftermath. I don't remember Clare doing cocaine tbh. But you are totally right about the Nancy thing, that's taking realism a bit too far ![]() EDIT: I think why I feel strangely strong on this is because my school didn't provide much drug education (it was all about pregnancy and STDs), we barely touched upon it so I kinda just learnt it from TV, and teenagers being impressionable, maybe that's why I feel weirdly harsh towards it. It could be different now or maybe it depends on the school. |

The bit that I didn't understand was how would Tony know if it was the real thing or not.
Admittedly my entire knowledge of gangster drug dealing comes from films and TV, but don't they usually dip their fingure in and have a taste? St Tony would have no knowledge of such matters |

They showed drug taking on Grange Hill back in the day at a much earlier timeslot. I think Byker Grove had a drug plot as well.

I remember Clare and Warren both snorting cocaine off the office table in the loft around 2006, hardly shocking.
