Has anything you've watched on TV influenced your life?

The "Dear Daughter" documentary about Christine Buckley in 1996.

The untouchable authoritative pedestal that those in the Church were on was completely smashed after watching that.

This quote from The Office actually really helped me get out of a bit of a funk I was in and enjoy where I am in life now as opposed to wishing everything was perfect:

Tim Canterbury: I don't know what a happy ending is. Life isn't about endings, is it? It's a series of moments. And umm... it's not if, you know, if you turn the camera off it's not an ending, is it. I'm still here, my life's not over. Come back, come back here in 10 years, see how I'm doing then. Cause I could be married with kids, you don't know. Life just goes on.

Probably the biggest influence I've had politically has been the following two videos, by Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov. He was a KGB officer who specialised in propaganda and psychological warfare. If you are wondering who originally sponsored all the radical lunatics, idiot artists, halfwit politicians, anti war/anti Western groups, extremist lefties, then this is the explanation you have been waiting for.

He explains in detail how long range soviet plans involved a culture war that spent 85% of their budget attacking all aspects of Western culture and democracy, and by placing useful idiots into positions of power to subvert the system. Well worth a look:

Himalaya by Michael Palin. it influenced my travels to India & Nepal which turned out to be the best travels of my life. I also met a lady in India who is now my other half:D

Mister Vain

MacGyver. He got me interested in science. He never carried a gun and always thwarted the enemy with vast scientific knowledge - sometimes with little more than a paper clip and duct tape in his pocket. Kick ass intro music too.

Jesus, it was difficult, but we ended up putting together a house that anyone could live in. There's something genuinely humbling about seeing the foundations of a house you built come together; cast against the profound beauty of the night sky.

Cheers horse! The entire experience was a challenging one. We had a mentor, but we had to come together to create shelter; food and stories. The cabin we built is fúcking cool.

'Apocalypto' was very moving and also 'The Road'.
