Because SOME of you might care about such things...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b014sprv

Character called Oggy - part of the team in a forensic research facility.
Has a conversation with a fellow team mate about a girl who is thought to have committed suicide and shows little concern/doesn't understand why he should, but then later gets upset (possibly meant to be a meltdown) seeing a video taken of the girl being assaulted. A few subtle references to him lacking in social skills and having an attention for detail. He figures out how to put together a bomb trigger (doesn't tell the team he took the parts to work on), and his boss explains this as 'He has a disorder...'

No reference to his being Aspie yet - it's a brand new show.
It really wouldn't surprise me if they reveal he's an aspie or on the spectrum somewhere.

I wouldn't care in either scenario. To me, by the same reasoning, he shouldn't care when he watches the video. What's the difference?

Can't watch the video, but from what you've described his portrayal sounds annoying. No subtlety whatsoever. The bomb trigger thing is BS. I refuse to believe he managed to hold down a job when he goes around stealing bomb equipment.


How's the show anyway? If it's any good I might download it as it comes out.
