do you know what farmer spray on field . that right manure and so when the bbc decide to make a much hype conspiracy thriller about gmos and farm what we get be some of the smelly manure the bbc have inflict upon it audience . spoiler . field of gold open with a bunch of masked scientist in a lab where a female scientist ( accord to the right on trendy bbc all scientist be woman ) announce a new strain of wheat that will save the third world from hunger then the story switch to another equally bland scene . if youre go to make a thriller of any type shouldn not you open with a hook that grab the audience . doctor who be brilliant at this a be the x file while 28 day later open with a hook that take place in a laboratory . i guess someone at the bbc do not think this thriller need a hook because the viewer have trailer stuff down their throat for week in advance a the ( not very excite ) story continue a couple of journalist ( one a drunken man with moral low than bill clinton and dubya bush combine while the other be a female journalist full of virtue ) investigating patient at a county hospital who might be get bump off via mercy killing . it at this point thing start get confuse a the female journalist be threaten by mi5 spook and the first episode end with the main mi5 spook get murder the second episode reveals that the patient at the county hospital have actually be die due to be infect with a vrsa superbug . this be when thing go totally hay wire . all throughout field of gold the audience have be lead to believe the intelligence service and the company show in the opening sequence have be behind the death but theyre not . it turn out the bad guy be an organic farmer who have be manufacture the vrsa superbug in his bedroom and the story end via the matrix camera work with the drunken male journalist set fire to a field ridden with vrsa thereby spread the superbug throughout the land i find it impossible to say a good word about field of gold . at the time of it broadcast i be both a member of the scottish green party and greenpeace . i have since renounce my time in the environmental movement but even now i be somewhat offend by how environmentalist be portray here and to have the bad guy spread a fatal genetically engineer virus a a warning to the danger of genetically modify organism be very silly . it a bit like a cnd member let off a nuke in london to warn of the danger of nuclear war . i be also slightly offend a to how the male character be write a be bastard while all the female be highly intelligent and morally superior to men . there also other problem with the script especially with regard to vrsa . if unlike the scriptwriter you take the time and trouble to research vrsa you will find it entirely different from what be see here . oh and if you set fire to diesel it doesn not explode like napalm . perhaps the bad criticism of the script be that it resemble jeepers creeper structure wise whereby the last ten minute contradict most of what have go before . where a jeepers creeper only last about 90 minute field of gold last twice that length so be doubly irritate and illogicalas a footnote environmentalism never make a good theme for a thriller ( anyone remember those steven segal movie . ) and it about time tv and film producer realize this .
