BBC Program on the Mormons shown on Australia TV

Four Corners, a documentary program shoed the BBC program on the Mormons on Monday night. I was somewhat disappointed with it as it only focused on some sensational parts. It obviously upset a lot of Aussie LDS from the comments in the Have you Say section.

It said it's available in Australia only due to copyright restrictions.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that until you said something. I'm pretty sure this is the original BBC version (58:58) which was adapted and apparently shortened by Four Corners (45 mins):

This World: The Mormon Candidate.

"I'm not a dodo..."

BBC "Mitt Romney took a secret death oath?" (paraphrased)

APOSTLE OF THE LORD "That's not true, that's not true, we do not have penalties in the Temple"

BBC "You used to?"

APOSTLE OF THE LORD "We used to..."

Article of faith says "We believe in being honest..."

Hmmm.....

Ahem. I regret to have to say that there exist freely available applications such as this one, that enable a web browser to appear to be anywhere in the world one might like to be, thereby avoiding such problems:

Clearly it would be most immoral to use such an application to view this program.
