The internet giveth and the internet taketh away. Boy, does it taketh away. That’s one thought that comes to mind while watching the documentary Another Body: My AI Porn Nightmare (BBC4, Tuesday, 10pm).

Mass access to the web has transformed billions of lives, but at the same time it has empowered vast hordes of creeps to seriously mess with other people - usually women. This film covers just one of those ways: the creation of artificial intelligence-generated porn, or “deepfake porn”.

We find out how it works through one woman telling her story. Taylor, an engineering student, had a message from a friend one day. Really sorry, he said, but think you should know about this. She clicked on the link and was horrified to see her face on the body of a woman filmed having sex.

It looked horrifyingly real. There were no ragged edges, clumsy sizing or any of the other telltale signs of one image being grafted on to another. Someone had taken Taylor’s image from Facebook, plus details of where she lived, and posted the fake film online. Why would anyone do this, she asked herself, and who had done it?

Her search for answers takes her to some of the murkiest corners of the web and leave her doubting her judgment of people.

Written, directed and produced by Sophie Compton and Reuben Hamlyn for the acclaimed Storyville strand of documentaries, Another Body airs in the UK just as another “deep fake” scandal has hit the headlines. Taylor Swift, one of the most famous women in the world, was the subject of the attack. Her fans hit back by flooding sites with real images of Swift, and X/Twitter blocked searches. By that time, however, the images had been viewed millions of times.

As the story of the two Taylors shows, it is not just celebrities who are being targeted. It could happen to anyone who has ever had a photo taken. “There is no woman in the world who is safe from this technology,” says one observer.

In the US, some states have passed laws making the distribution of deepfake porn a criminal offence. Here, the recently passed Online Safety Act does the same. There is no federal, US-wide law, meaning it’s a zip code lottery whether action can be taken.

Even then, you have to catch the culprit - no easy task given the use of virtual private networks to disguise identities online.

“We are at the very beginning of this battle,” says one woman. But with this cleverly made eye-opener of a film, and the efforts of others to spread the word, at least the fightback has begun.

Once upon a time a British novelist, David Nicholls, wrote a love story titled One Day. It sold gazillions of copies around the world and was truly, deeply, and madly loved by its fans.

A shoo-in to be made into a film, you might have thought. So it came to pass in 2011, with Anne Hathaway and British actor Jim Sturgess playing Emma and Dexter, two Edinburgh University students who meet for the first time on graduation day. The day goes so well they resolve to celebrate their “anniversary” every year, come what may.

The film had reviews ranging from stone cold to lukewarm, with Hathaway’s nomadic accent (Scotland? Yorkshire? LA?) attracting a lot of unfavourable comment.

Fast forward to 2024 and One Day (Netflix) has arrived. This time Dexter and Emma are played by Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) and Ambika Mod (the junior doctor in This is Going to Hurt). Given the episodic nature of the tale, the streamer is the perfect home for it (unless you binge all 14 episodes at once). The quality of the two leads bodes well, as does the casting in general, with Essie Davis as Alison, Dexter’s mum. Don’t say a thing, just enjoy (hopefully).

Seems like every time you turn on the TV there’s an ambulance crew racing to a scene or blasting through the door at A&E. Take your pick from 999 On the Front Line, 24 Hours in A&E, Paramedics on Scene, (the Scottish Ambulance Service), and now Ambulance (BBC1, Wednesday, 9pm) is back. This time the spotlight is on the North West Ambulance Service, which covers Greater Manchester and Merseyside, among other places.

Calls are followed from initial assessment to attendance at the scene. The day can bring anything - and I mean anything. Next week’s patients include a man who has fallen from a tree and a woman who needs help from mental health services but doesn’t want to come to hospital.

The ambulance crews and call handlers include a lot of old heads on young shoulders. They cope remarkably well with the pressure, though it clearly takes its toll. It doesn’t help when the service is busy and callers face hours of waiting.

There are lighter moments, as when a call comes in saying a customer is having a baby on the floor of a McDonald’s. Now there’s a story that will live long in someone’s family history. No spoilers as to the baby’s name, but it is not Ronald.
