Former Freemason and retired army officer Ian Mattison joins us for a final round-up review of the Sky TV series Inside the Freemasons where he expresses dismay about the lack of balance in the films. Complementing his first review, two weeks ago, Ian looks at the pressure which is put on Masons to stay in the craft even though when they are initiated they really dont know what sort of organisation theyre getting themselves into. Freemasons have to swear bloodcurdling oaths as they are initiated up through the incremental degrees of the craft and with those oaths come obligations."The obligation is to have your life terminated in several ways depending on which degree youre in". We also hear about a BBC South TV programme on Freemasonry which was inexplicably cancelled after the producer was threatened, presumably by a BBC manager or managers.
