Watching cop shows on Britbox, and the first story in Taggart season 5 (September 1989) has a few scenes of play of a D&D clone by folks in their 20s, with some remarks on the gaming market, the view of the game from the outside, and players being attached to their PCs.

Just out of curiosity, do they mention anything related to demons or Satanism in there? I was under the impression that the Satanic Panic hadn't crossed the Atlantic, but that's only based on a few (often secondhand) accounts from various books I've read about the history of the hobby.

About 35 minutes in it has:

O1: "Sir, we once had a Christian debate on role playing games."

O2: (Sarcastic) "Really?"

O1: "Yeah, a lot of Christians think they're dangerous, they can take over people's minds."

O3: "What do you think?"

O1: "Well..."

And then he is cur-off by officer 2.

I'm about bit over an hour of the way in (1/2 way) and that's it so far in that vein.
