The BBC broadcast Stolen which they described as a “Fast-paced thriller about the trafficking of children who are brought to Britain for a better life but end up working outside of the system”. It had Twitter followers blubbing, one describing herself as all “snot and tears”. 

Benji Wilson wrote in The Telegraph: “The worry was that Stolen(BBC One, Sunday), a feature-length single drama about child trafficking, might be just a little too preachy to stomach. The alarm bells jangled from the first frame, which was a white-on-black strap reading: ‘Once upon a time, each and every day in fact, children are being trafficked and put to work, unpaid, unprotected, unseen.’ 

If the first law of television is ‘show, don’t tell’ this was like being lectured by a po-faced Pecksniff, or Bono. In the event, Justin Chadwick’s film, starring Damian Lewis as a detective in the Human Trafficking Unit, stayed just on the right side of overbearing”.

Comments on the Government's approval of a White Paper which is intended to make it more likely that those who have sex with a drunken partner may be convicted of rape. Refers to the Court of Appeal decision in R. v Bree (Benjamin) which emphasised the importance of giving specific directions to the jury (where both parties were drunk and an allegation of rape was made) in relation to the complainant's capacity to choose and the defendant's reasonable belief in all the circumstances.
