Adam Curtis Documentary ‘Fuck You, Buddy’ is the first part in a series (The Trap – What Happened to Our Dreams of Freedom, Sunday, BBC2) about civil liberties. The ‘inflammatory’ name refers to a game invented by the mathematician John Forbes Nash, whom they actually draft in here, which at first I thought lent it authority, and later on I decided was just because, well, he’s mad, innee? “Frankly, as interesting as game theory is, and it is interesting, I couldn’t help thinking, ‘Hold the front page! Paranoid schizophrenic thinks rest of world is out to get each other!’ A number of other game theorists were wheeled out. They’re all pretty old now, and they pause for so long you think the telly’s on pause. I kept thinking the dog was sitting on the remote. ‘That dog is probably out to screw me,’ I thought. ‘It will serve him better, in the long run, than cooperating with me.’
