Like most BBC3 programmes, it’s repeated later in the week and also in the early hours of tomorrow (Tuesday) - just after midnight and again at 3am. The 3am transmission has sign language - just in case you are on yaba.

Apart from the fact it describes 'yaba' as a new drug and a new problem, when in fact the problem has been ongoing for many years, I quite enjoyed watching this. Stacey Dooley seems quite keen to get her nose stuck in and go to places she probably shouldn't and quite brave of her to criticise several aspects of how the Thais try and deal with it. And i'd also slip her a length, shes quite cute.

Fred never took 'Yabba'........But the people of Abu dhabi do!!

I saw the preview for this and they were saying that Yah Bah was a new drug to hit Thailand. Kinda forgot to watch it after that bullshit.

 

Saw last week's episode on Cocaine out of Peru and wasn't impressed at all with the stupid cow.

I had 2 messages from people watching this in the UK this AM.

Seemed like they found it interesting, although yah-bah is hardly a new phenomena here.

I find her bloody annoying. She has no background in investigative journalism. Just plucked from a TV reality show and given her own show where she's sent abroad to sympathise with poor people.

 

People here don't razte her either...

The non-thinking man's crumpet.

According to the date line at the end the programme was made in 2008. As has been stated the poxy stuff is ancient news in Thailand even then; it was a problem in the 80s. The programme showed absolutely nothing new or of any substance ( and that was not a pun!).

I started to watch it but can't stand her voice. She is obviously not a serious journalist just some reality dumbo.

I haven't seen this but have seen other stuff she's done and this girl is a fucking idiot who know's fuck all about anything , and the BBC have got the cheek to pay this cunt from licence payers money for participating in this nonsense that nobody gives a fuck about........!

[monkeyman 1,604]

So glad the Beeb could find the time to cover drugs in Thailand, since there's obviously no problem of a totalitarian police state being imposed in the UK that they might cover instead.

 

Makes a change from sex abuse. The BBC rarely talk about anything else.

They have to talk about it because most of their former employee's where the the fucking abuser's....! and as for that dumb cunt stacey dooley , she get's away with the shit they call real life documentaries because she is not an employee but a fucking freelancer who only gets paid expenses and not a salary according to their spokesperson , you could not make this shit up.....!

Who cares about the content, she is lush.

I quite like Stacey in the short about her visit to Luton. I don't understand all the animosity directed to her.

Too true, she had some guts confronting all those Muslims in the way she did, not many men would have had the guts to do what she did on her own with just a film crew backing her.

Right lads.....The posts that went completely off topic have been moved over into a new topic over in the "Politics and Religion" forum so would you kindly take that discussion over there.

[pinoydave 210]

She states that most come across the border from Burma, but that country seems to be above criticism here in the UK. Aung San suu kyi, is viewed by the BBC as someone close to godlike and the country is beyond pure somewhere back in the 19th century

[TheFiend 1,181]

My other half's family live up north and you can always guarantee passing through police checkpoints on the journey back south... they are always on the lookout for yabba shipments heading south.

Its staged just hype on the bbc's behalf the criticism and usage of the fact its a pretty woman reporter and perhaps a few bhat otherwise the criticism would not have been tolerated.

I found the program informative although I was aware of the Yabba in Thailand mind you never seen it or wanted to its not my scene drugs hate them. I was always lead to believe it was a Thai problem with quite a few of the locals on it. I did see a bar girl going kinda crazy one night a few years back and heard comments at the time about her being on Yabba now it all ties in! All that aside it seems a pretty addictive and dangerous drug sorry for those on it but its their choice. As for the reporter I agree with others in relation to her investigative skills. Equally as sad is the one she runs about mad in is the Eastern European countries where in Lithuania they are mixing their own crap its scary !

I have seen a bit of evidence of falangs on the stuff too......

More likely the ya-ice that makes a person confrontational and feel invincible.

WTF is going on here , it's locked , it's open , it's moved.....!
