Trivial, run-of-the-mill subjects for public broadcasters? Just because you’ve covered a subject doesn’t mean you can’t do it again – and better. Such subjects can still be challenging. The clue to success is looking deeper and being braver. For example, how many times have you done stories about people with extraordinary abilities, but that you didn’t really believe? What about programs about popular music – so popular it becomes a plague? Surely there are no strict rules for composing a successful song; there are no strict and clearly stated rules like the ones that soldiers must obey.

Can a soldier disagree? Or is it just obvious that if you wear the uniform of your country’s army you have no excuse for not killing the enemy. The vast majority of soldiers don’t want to use their guns and don’t do it, even against enemies. So when is it right to kill? Military conscience is revealed
