13. It was highlighted in last night's "Call the Midwife"

We often think about how it affected us in the U.S.. This show made me realize that the whole "free" world was sitting on tenterhooks putting their hopes in the hands of the young president of the U.S..

Of course this wasn't all this show covered. It seems the Brits can hit on lots of issues in a one hour show. Female genital mutilation, archaic mental health practices - electro shock therapy and lobotomies, fear of the destruction of the world, women standing for women and more in this one episode.
