A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.
The so-called typical "attacking a straw man" argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition by covertly replacing it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and then to refute or defeat that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the original proposition.
This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged emotional issues where a fiery, entertaining "battle" and the defeat of an "enemy" may be more valued than critical thinking or understanding both sides of the issue.
In the United Kingdom the argument is also known as an Aunt Sally, after the pub game of the same name where patrons throw sticks or battens at a model of an old woman's head.
Man of Straw is the second studio album by the American thrash metal band Viking. It was released in August 8, 1989 through Metal Blade/Caroline Records, and was the band's last one before their 21-year breakup from 1990 to 2011. Man of Straw was produced by Viking's lead singer and guitarist Ron Eriksen, and like their previous album Do or Die, it was executive produced by Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel.

didi-5 (Thu Oct 1 2009 06:33:02)
It was made in colour, not black and white, and isn't registered on most lost show websites as missing. I'd say that meant there was some hope of it at least surviving in the archives and if so, another series to badger the BBC into releasing.
Perhaps within the present PC climate it might be too anti-Germanic, possibly sitting on the same shelf, adjacent to The Black and White Minstrel Shows, Quad videotapes.
