... unexpectedaly flashing onton the screen a large-scale, close-up ohotograph od a man who's been shot in the face at very close range...In this picture, gore and gristle bubbled everywhere. The man'e eyes had bulged all the way out of their sockets.His nose was gone...my body responded to the shock by feeling prickly and jangly and weak and debilitated...a result fo our amygdalae and central nervous systems shooting signals of distress up and down each other. Its the feeling we get when we're suddenly startled- like a figure jumps out at us in the dark- or when we realise wwe've done something terrible, the feeling of fear and gult and remorse, the psychical manifestation of our conscience.

TV is just troubled people being booed these days. Every peak-time programme is populated by people who are just the right sort of mad
