I've just been scanning british sky TV and in 10 mins, at 6.30pm here, this programme starts.
It says that it is a documentary revealing the truth behind some of Michael's bizarre accentricities and a life spent in the media spotlight from an early age.
I'm wondering if the JW thing will come out?!
I'll let you know!

Thanks Sirona, will tune in.
So good to see someone whose parents have made an even better job of f00king them up than mine!
OMG it just started and Michael said
"My childhood was not normal, there was no Christmas, there was no Birthdays..."
Wow.

I can't get that channel - but thanks anyway.
5 minutes in and theyve got an ex dub testifying! Cool!
Sounds like a great program. Is someone recording it?

I type fast so here are some snippets (typing as I hear....not a transcript but good enough)
The Jackson boys shared beds well into their teens at the insistence of their father...
Michaels father....ruled with an iron fist
They called their father by his name, they called him Joe, or sometimes papa joe
His mother was Jehovahs Witness. JWs are prohibited from xmas, fathers day, easter, mothers day fathers day. He was indoctrinated at age 7.
Sex outside the marriage was forbidden. Disfellowshipped in JW terminology is death....
(Bill BOWEN is on this programme!he was the one saying those words just realised)
Biblical spanking can easily cross the line into physical abuse
Michael was physically abused by his father and it was very bad and traumatic.
Every time his dad Joe heard Michael sing he may have been reminded of his own failure.
